Today’s St. Patrick’s Day.
Everyone’s wearing green. You can smell corned beef and cabbage in the air. And the beer will be flowing all day in celebration.
I grew up in a catholic family. We loved celebrating St. Patty’s Day and we loved beer.
I learned to appreciate beer in many different forms growing up around it. As I got older, I tried all kinds and developed a real love for the taste. My only real complaint with the beverage is the weight it puts on my waistline.
I have a lot of favorite beers, but only one favorite bottle.
Red Stripe Lager.
Yes, the beer made in Jamaica. I just love the stubby brown bottle and painted label.
And you know the funny thing given its St. Patty’s Day and all? Red Stripe was acquired by Guinness Brewing Worldwide in the 90s so even it has a little Irish blood!
I have been looking for a Red Stripe good poster for years. I was browsing ebay a few weeks back and found this for $5.99.
You can imagine my excitement. It’s the perfect poster. A simple and modern representation of this classic bottle.
It’s going up in my office for now so I can appreciate it’s clean shape every day while running on my treadmill. I know there’s a bit of irony in that statement. Running and looking at beer… but maybe that’s why it’s the perfect motivation. ![]()

Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your post seem to be running off the screen in Firefox. I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know. The design and style look great though! Hope you get the problem fixed soon. Many thanks
do you know what version of firefox you are running? thanks!
