History of Red Stripe Beer
Jamaica’s iconic brand had its origins with Thomas Hargreaves Geddes and Eugene Desnoes, who formed the Desnoes and Geddes Company in 1918. The first beer branded as Red Strip was brewed in 1928 and represented a milestone in Jamaica’s history. In 1962, when Jamaica gained independence from Britain, Red Stripe was the brew of choice for many happy Jamaicans. The brand’s notable stubby bottle was introduced in 1965. Red Stripe was awarded a gold medal and Red Stripe Light received a silver medal in the Monde Selection in 2003. Red Stripe’s export volume exceeded its domestic volume and consumption in 2005 for the first time. The brand launched Rum Punch and Rum Mojito, its first ready-to-drink cocktails, in 2023.
