All of this Halloween talk and fall weather had me reaching for one beer last night: Red Stripe. A summer-styled lager in the near-winter month of October? Why not?
Red Stripe Jamaican beer is known for its spiced flavor and smooth finish. This lager has a large stable of enthusiasts due to its unique taste and stubby bottle. The famous Red Stripe “bitterness” is caused by its crisp, almost-acidic blend of roasted corn and (vegetable?) hops. No matter what the weather it’s refreshing.
While pricy compared to budget-beers Red Stripe is still reasonably affordable for those wanting some variety in their brew-drinking habits. Warning: hipsters have taken a liking to Red Stripe, so you may be labeled unfairly as one when sipping.
Ways to avoid being labeled a hipster whilst drinking a Red Stripe Jamaican Lager:
Get into a brawl with a Hell’s Angel (not recommended)
Never, ever utter the phrase “post-modern” or worse, “Po-Mo”
Don’t act like a self-righteous, judgmental, know-it-all hipster (see what I did there?) Read More »
