I'm trying to do my part to keep some of these businesses open by being there, drinking their hops, barley and water product. In fact, I have been informed that the Red Stripe shortage of a couple of years ago occurred just shortly after I landed on the island. I have given notice to D&G over the last two years and have been assured that production will go 24-7 while I'm here.

Just a quick observation though. Pay attention to the best way to pay at some spots. Example, Rick's charges $5 USD for a Red Stripe or $900J when It should be around the $700-$750J mark, but they want that USD. Office of Nature in Bloody Bay charges $5 USD or $500J, now that I like. I'm not an American and I'm in Jamaica why pay in USD and give a break to those using local currency.

The price changes seem like they just happened (unless it just looks worse in print) we were in Negril last April and prices didn’t feel inflated. However we don’t spend a lot of time drinking on the beach either.

We mostly hang out in places from the Corner Bar going west. So that’s the good news.

Maybe prices were jacked last year and we didn’t spend enough time on the beach to realize it.

Sad to think Covid killed successful local businesses, you can hope locals can fill those niches.
