Red Stripe brewery switching to LNG

Beer maker Desnoes & Geddes Limited, which trades as Red Stripe Jamaica, has struck a deal with New Fortress Energy for long-term supply of liquefied petroleum gas or LNG.

The deal was described as the first of its kind for a large company in Jamaica. But that's only if it meets the expected September 2017 timeline and beats the previously announced supply arrangement between New Fortress and bauxite company Jamalco, set for a 2018 timeline.
