Message LinusStick beers 3741 º places 66 º 21:08 Thu 1/19/2017 I’m guessing not because I’ve been multiple places in the Caribbean and while I was able to get some new ticks, I’ve not found anything worthwhile. I’ll be staying in Runaway Bay and if I even heard there was a worthy store to get some good beer, I’d go. It’s about 1/2 hour outside of Ocho Rios if that helps
Message Homer321 P beers 5369 º places 54 º 21:48 Thu 1/19/2017 Last time I was there ticking beers was around Christmas and they had a nice selection of beers made with sorrel (spelling?). On a side note, I would highly recommend going to the Blue Hole (check tripadvisor, 100x better than duns river falls). Avoid the overproof rum.
Message tennisjoel P beers 2230 º places 53 º 21:50 Thu 1/19/2017 Drink the rum whilst in the Caribbean. If you only want beer, red stripe isn’t a terrible beer. Sorry I can’t help you out more than that. I think for craft beers it’s kind of a wasteland overall.
Message Homer321 P beers 5369 º places 54 º 21:51 Thu 1/19/2017 apparently sorrel is just hibiscus. Sounds less cool, but damn were the drinks good.

Message Ernest P beers 9435 º places 229 º 22:25 Thu 1/19/2017 Most likely you can find Guinness Foreign Extra there, which is probably the most inoffensive beer you’re likely to find in the Caribbean in general. Quite a lot better than the watery dreck in nitro form, and I even like it better than the Belgian version based on a recent retry of that version. More roasty and bitter than one might expect.
Message smith4498 beers 4285 º places 20 º 18:57 Sat 1/21/2017 When I was there 20 years ago I drank a shit ton of Dragon Stout. It was a nice break from Red Stripe. It was an all inclusive resort with unlimited booze, always had a beer in hand.
Message JK beers 7296 º places 442 º 18:58 Sat 1/21/2017 Is there a Jamaican brewed Guinness?
Message StefanSD beers 2449 º places 57 º 08:38 Sun 1/22/2017 One does not go to Jamaica for the beer.

Message erway beers 1004 º places 41 º 12:38 Tue 1/24/2017 Originally posted by JK Is there a Jamaican brewed Guinness? Yes and I liked it quite a bit when I was there in 2005. I also liked the Lion Heart Stout alright... But yeah, you’re in the Carribean. Drink rum.
