[title]Red Stripe is a smooth, full bodied amber lager from the sandy beaches of Jamaica where it was first brewed, over 90 years ago. Named after the red stripe that used to run down Jamaican police uniforms, Red Stripe is an unpretentious drop that goes down nice’n’easy.
Fans of the beer have the opportunity to win a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Jamaica in July 2019. The prize includes return economy flights, hotel accommodation in Montego Bay, and daily activities.
To win one of two trips for two people, simply purchase a Red Stripe from a participating venue, take a creative photo with the Red Stripe promotional coaster that you’ll receive with your purchase, and post it to Instagram, tagging #RedStripeAus and the venue where you bought your Red Stripe. Remember to have your Instagram set to public. The two most creative posts will win.
The competition is open from February 1 to May 19, 2019. The prize trip must be taken on July 17-21, 2019, and cannot be changed, transferred or redeemed for cash. Go here for more information and terms and conditions.
So, where can you enjoy Red Stripe and get that promotional coaster? Here's the list:
Brisbane
Soho Gardens
Fairfield now has a London-inspired gin and wine bar where you can also get a cocktail or a Red Stripe beer. Kick back and enjoy their program of live music.
Shady Palms
This Stones Corner bar is like your mate’s backyard – if your mate just got back from a gastronomic tour of the Americas. Wash those crab cakes and southern fried chicken down with a Red Stripe beer.
The Dalgety Public House
A bar occupying the old Teneriffe wool stores, the Dalgety Public House does pub classics with panache. Your Moreton Bay bug slider is going to taste all the better with a Red Stripe beer.
The Flamin’ Galah
Nurturing Brisbane’s live music scene, the Flamin’ Galah on Roma Street hosts bands and throws parties seven nights a week. If you rock up in the daytime you can even enjoy a Red Stripe while watching a band rehearse – bands can book the stage here for free rehearsal sessions six days a week.
Jungle
Jungle is West End’s original tiki bar, mixing up fine tropical cocktails on the corner of Boundary and Vulture Streets – the Jamaican vibes here are something special.
The Malecón Bar
Is your heart in Havana? Head to Malecón. They’re serving rum from Cuba and the world over at this Carribean corner of Brisbane, but luckily there’s brews like Red Stripe for refreshment in between the hard stuff and bouts of joy on the dancefloor.
Craft Bar and Kitchen
As the name suggests, this joint is serving up the best in locally sourced produce and the craftiest small batch beers. It has become a favourite on the Queensland coast, with its hearty meals, shareable tapas and stellar selection of beers.
Barbossa
Barbossa is Southbank’s Caribbean-inspired bar and bottle shop, with a menu to match – think Jamaican fish balls, jerk chicken wings and Cuban Ropa Veija (shredded pork with plantains on black bean rice).
Heya Bar
Brunswick Street may be bustling, but this subterranean bar presents another world of late-night edible adventures. Inspired by the fragrant markets of South East Asia, you’ll find spicy Asian street food, cooling brews and lamp-lit corridors to get lost in.
O Bar and Restaurant
This Brisbane CBD secret is a wonderful hideaway from fast-paced city life. Let afternoons turn to evenings in the cosy sandstone-walled bar, then test drive their fabulous fusion food menu.

Aloha Bar and Dining
Stop by Broadbeach tiki bar Aloha for an after-work cocktail and some beachy vibes, and check out its nightly food and drink specials to save yourself some moolah.
