On March 28, Red Stripe hosted the official launch of its $2.2-billion Cellars Expansion for beer production (CERS) Project and its newly renovated corporate office affectionately known as Red Stripe House.
CERS marks a milestone in Red Stripe’s over 100-year history as one of its most ambitious expansion projects to date.
It was, therefore, no surprise that scores of public and private stakeholders, including keynote speaker Prime Minister Andrew Holness, gathered at Red Stripe’s Spanish Town Road brewery to celebrate the landmark moment. The Business Social has the highlights.
