Talk:Red Stripe

Untitled
What (if any) is the connection between Jamaican Red Stripe and the Red Stripe brewed by the Fulton(?) Brewery of Galena, Illinois? It came in long necks pre-Prohibition and possibly post-Prohibition.

A googling found these:

For that matter, the bottle of Red Stripe in my hand describes itself on the front label as "Jamaican Style Lager." On the side it says it was "brewed & bottled by Red Stripe Brewing Company, Latrobe, PA." What's with this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ottoump (talk • contribs) 04:43, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

Back in about 1985 or 86, Red Stripe used to make an "extra strong" lager called "Crucial Brew" - do they still, or was it phased out?


 * Crucial Brew is a brand initially owned by Charles Wells, the UK partner of the D & G - now it appears that the brand is owned by Desnoes & Geddes - but is it still produced and distributed?  DeepDishChicago 16:27, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Where is Stamford?
The article says: "A new Red Stripe Light has also been added - brewed in Jamaica, bottled in Stamford."

Where is Stamford? Is it Stamford, CT? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gary2863 (talk • contribs).
 * There is also a Stamford in England (Lincolshire), which is older than Stamford, CT —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 151.163.2.8 (talk • contribs).


 * I'm pretty sure it is Stamford, CT since Diageo (Guinness-Bass Import Co.) are located there. -- Bovineone 09:05, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Names
What is the origin of the Red Strip? Historically relevant or no grounding whatsoever?

Relevance of reference to Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
Is it relevant to include a reference to Henry Louis Gates, Jr. in this article? The paragraph's point seems to be that he didn't order a Red Stripe. Pgembicki (talk) 19:20, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

This is stale. Heineken ownership since 2018 is not mentioned
Heineken ownership since 1918 is not mentioned. Somebody who knows details please update. 159.250.99.248 (talk) 16:11, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

History and origins
The history of Red Stripe both in this article and more generally seems rather confused. We have two sources claiming the recipe and brand originate from Galena Brewing in Illinois, but one states it is from the 1830s and one from the 1930s  which is quite a difference! Meanwhile the Oxford Companion to Beer states that Desnoes & Geddes first used the Red Stripe brand for an ale in 1928, before developing the lager version in 1938. Anyone able to shed any light on this? the wub "?!"  15:57, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
