Jamaica Time for some beer?


My wife and I took a quick trip down to Jamaica for New Year's and while the beer diversity is not great there, I did have some nice experiences with the local brews.


It was our first stay at an all-inclusive resort which meant our first wet bar in the room and a bunch of Red Stripe in the fridge restocked every other day!  Yea, mon!!
A salute to Jamaica looking out of our room and onto Bloody Bay.
Dead Jamaican soldiers' gravestones...
Red Stripe Light w/ Lime. OK, not the greatest beer in the world, but having it at Rick's Cafe on the high bluffs overlooking the beautiful blue water in Negril, Jamaica, made it taste a lot better.
The only other decent choice at Rick's was Guinness Foreign Extra Stout which is brewed right here in the Caribbean and is not as good at the original in my humble opinion, but again it's hard to beat the backdrop.
