Heineken takes control of Red Stripe in the UK from January 1.

This follows the deal with Diageo worth $780.5m which was concluded back in October.

The Jamaican lager will join Heineiken’s range of beers in the UK, which includes Heineken, Desperados, Tiger, Sol and Birra Moretti.

Customers can order Red Stripe and Dragon Stout from Heineken from December 30, with first deliveries taking place from January 2.
