[Skeng DX]

Sad that such a good post is hijacked....

I guess RedStripe still taste good. Had several last week--and they were refreshing!

The local brand Caribe ...(sp?) is a grog.

[I ordered a RedStripe light and my friend laughed as said I was drinking "dun man beer"]

Guinness taste different in Jamaica. Noticed that the Jamaican brew is labeled "Foreign Extra".

But that's a great ad. that Red Stripe could take advantage of.....brilliant catch!!!

[Hortical]

Checked google finance and dem telling me it is 1 USD = 85.2800 JMD. Methinks twas in 90s now, no?

[Karl]

You are absolutely correct!

[TDowl]

Did the red Stripe make you belch? and did you smell the hops? Did you take one home to mix with Betty condense Milk?

Dun Man beer is better, I can figure why it is not sold in New York City, oh well, the Irish know best.

[HL]

Dun man beer is available here in ATL. In fact I have 2 left from a 6-pack I bought several weeks ago.

Your first and last question: in your first sentence made me laugh.

Mixing beer with *Betty condense milk.


* I have not seen nor heard of this brand for years!!!

A Future For 1960's Beer

Redstripe needs to make the product taste as it was in the 60's, matter of fact we need two more Beer making Companies in Jamaica.

Schlitz, which was the third-most popular beer in the nation during the 1950's, has gone back to its 1960 formula and has created a niche as a premium beer. During the 1970's, Schlitz started using cheaper ingredients and used brewing shortcuts. A strike in the early 1980's all but sunk the brand.

Were you drinking beer in the 60s TDowl? A lang time yuh deh bout!

[TDowl]

Most people on here as never tasted that Schlitz, but thanks for the post, Red Stripe can do the same, bring back long bottle.

[TDowl]
