Red Stripe is a Jamaican lager-style beer, recognizable for its distinctive bottle and crisp taste. The first Red Stripe was brewed in 1928. In 2001, Red Stripe launched a successful advertising campaign, with the slogan "Hooray Beer!" The advertisements kept with the beer's image as an easy-going style of beer. The current lager form of the beer was first produced in 1938, and the beer's main brewery was first opened in Hunt's Bay, Jamaica in 1958. The beer is 4.7% alcohol by volume.
