About

Red Stripe is Jamaica's iconic pale lager, brewed by Desnoes & Geddes since 1928. This light golden beer is crafted with Pilsen malt, hops, and cassava starch, delivering a smooth and refreshing character that has made it a Caribbean staple. The beer offers subtle malt sweetness with gentle citrus notes and a clean, crisp finish. Red Stripe is best served cold and features a light body with fine carbonation, making it ideal for warm climates and casual occasions. Its straightforward approach to brewing—quality ingredients, straightforward execution—defines its appeal. Desnoes & Geddes was formed in 1918 from the merger of two soft drink companies, introducing Red Stripe a decade later. Today it remains a recognised symbol of Jamaican brewing heritage and Caribbean identity.
