Taking Beer To Jamaica Questions

Last time I went to Jamaica was the '05-'06 timeframe, so it was "post 9/11" in terms of luggage scrutiny. I brought several bottles of wine in my checked luggage. I don't recall anybody asking or checking my luggage entering the country (Jamaica). I made it to the hotel with all of the wine intact, and without issue.

That was enough years ago to where perhaps things have changed, and someone else can speak to a more recent experience and provide more timely guidance.

 

You probably have a better chance of getting 1lb of dank to Jamaica than beer. If it were me, I wouldn't worry about bringing such items. Enjoy the honeymoon as it is and enjoy the local Pina Coladas and Red Stripe. The local economy will thank you and so will your lawyer.

 

I took a few Heady, an Ever Weisse, a JBM and a St. Lamvinus to Jamaica back in May. Didn't declare anything.

Enjoy the Land of Wood and Water!!!

 

I'd probably just stick with Red Stripe and doobers. When in Rome...

Damn if I'd hump beer to the islands on a vacation, have some rum, and Red Stripe it won't kill you ya know. Who wants the potential hassle of getting stopped and who knows what, if you ruin your Honeymoon your dead meat to your wife.

 

We did it last Feb, took Backwoods Bastard, Hopslam, KBS, and a couple others, wrapped in in bubble wrap, then rolled clothes around that and rubber-banded the bundle to keep it together, also wrote a letter to TSA that I had no problem with them opening it all up, but please try to keep it the way it was, did'nt declare it, paid nothing extra, all went smooth. Try to find Dragon Stout Spitfire ( by RedStripe, highest abv beer they make ). Brought some of those back the same way. Good luck, and enjoy your trip!

 

Went to Jamaica for out 10 yr anniversary back in 07. Packed in cans of Dales Pale Ale and Old Chub. No problems, didn't declare anything .Found where they sold Guinness FES by our resort and didn't look back.. You'll see more Jamaican's drinking FES than you will Red Stripe....

 

I am going on my honeymoon to Jamaica in January as well. When and where? 26th to the 2nd for us. Can't remember where off the top of my head.

 

The heck with the Red Stripe, drink Dragon Stout to go along with whatever you bring

Good luck, Negril and 7 mile beach are great. If you decide to leave the comforts of your all inclusive, there is a lot of great eats up and down 7 mile beach, especially when you get down by the smaller hotels and the market. I had a fantastic meal at this place. Dirt floors, open kitchen, FRESH food.

Just found the info in my email. We're going to Couples Tower Isle. Enjoy.

 

Drink some fine aged rum instead?

 

Yeah. Seems like a risk/reward situation. I'm sure they sell beers other than red stripe somewhere on the island.

 

Congrats man! We went on our honeymoon last year at the Rockhouse Hotel in Negril, and I must say, it was absolutely amazing. Didn't bring any beer though, but I would highly suggest bringing some, because Red Stripe was literally the only beer we drank there ha.

Just don't buy any weed until you get out of the airport, and into a taxi.. If that's your thing

But yea visit the Appleton Rum Estate since you'll be out that way.

 

Don't forget the Jerk Chicken!!!! A must when visiting Jamaica. Have a fun and safe trip

 

+1 for the Rockhouse, go for dinner one night. Also hit 3 Dives (100 yards down from Rockhouse) for the BEST jerk chicken in Negril (IMO). Finally, hit up Murphy's West End for an amazing dinner, Murphy is the best chef in Negril.
