Jamaica
The centre of gravity for tropical stout, a style usually explained as a British export and now overwhelmingly brewed in the markets it was exported to.
Strong sweet stout was shipped to the Caribbean from Britain and then, over the twentieth century, came to be brewed locally under licence or independently. What is drunk in Jamaica today is not imported British beer, and treating the style as a British one sold abroad gets both its history and its present wrong.
The result is sweeter, fruitier and less roast-bitter than an Irish stout at similar strength, brewed for a hot climate and drunk cold.
Breweries in Jamaica
Carried because a reference beer, a tradition or a historical event needs them. Not a directory.
