Red Stripe shortage?

Dang, ya'll got me thirsty now

And the problem has reared its ugly head again. No Red Stripe in Negril last night. HiLo, Green grocer, Value Master and the store in Coral Sea Plaza all out.

Did you check L&M?

Sorry, bought out the Value Master. Found 18 bottles there Sunday morning. My brother is on his way from MoBay with two cases of bottles! I don’t know where he found them. So far have only found it in cans at the bars and restaurants.

Have cans of Red Stripe been in short supply or just bottles?

Both... Value Master had a few cases of single bottles in their fridge on Monday and interestingly enough the bottle caps had once again changed colour.

Heineken seems to be always available as do the flavored Red Stripes.

At times we have heard it was a bottle shortage, but that doesn't explain the can shortages. The bottle caps keep changing which seems to point to a more complex problem.

Various supply side "bottlenecks" are probably a more likely scenario.

Remember to check L&M...

No pun intended I'm sure.

Hadn't seen any Red Stripes for months here in Winterpeg. Always checked when I stopped at the beer store or the liquor mart. Stopped by the liquor mart for some Appleton's yesterday and lo and behold I saw some Stripes. Huge smile on my face when I saw that. BTW, I much prefer Negril's golden sand to our bright white "sand".[ATTACH=CONFIG]56573

A thing of beauty!
