Why is Red Stripe beer from Jamaica suddenly in the news?
Beer Summit choices: Bud Light for Barack Obama, Red Stripe for Henry Louis Gates Jr., Blue Moon for Sgt. James Crowley Gibbs went on to say he had read that Gates likes Red Stripe and that Crowley had mentioned to Obama his preference for Blue Moon. Red Stripe is a Jamaican standard; Blue Moon is a Belgian-style beer brewed in Golden, Colo. “So we’ll have the gamut covered [Thursday] afternoon,” said Gibbs, noting that they won’t be cracking any brews inside the Oval Office. “I think we’re still thinking, weather permitting, the picnic table out back.” Sources: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-talk-beer-summit-choicesjul30,0,7993450.

For the president, planning to crack a Bud Light at the meeting wtih Gates and police Sgt. James Crowley, is paying special attention to the taste buds of his White House guests. “The president will drink Bud Light,” White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said today. “As I understand it — I have not heard this, I’ve read this, so I’ll just repeat what I’ve read,” Gibbs said, sounding very much like the president himself when he was asked to comment on the Gates arrest at a prime-time news conference last week, “that Prof. Gates said he liked Red Stripe, and I believe Sgt. Crowley mentioned to the president that he liked Blue Moon.” Red Stripe is a Jamaican standard, Blue Moon from Golden, Colo.
