The summer has officially began for the Great Jamaican Beer, Red Stripe, and they have a new way to keep it as cold as ice, actually, even colder. Meanwhile, some Jamaicans get ready for their adventure in Japan.

Celebrity chef Richard Blias (right) digs way in as he demonstrates a new and innovative way of getting a cold beer by pouring liquid nitrogen in it, which is perfect because unlike ice, you maintain the texture and flavour of the product as you enjoy a cold one. His colleague Mark Nanna looks on. The demonstration was at the Red Stripe Learning for Life bartending programme held at the Red Stripe plant on Spanish Town Road, yesterday. - Rudolph Brown/Chief Photographer
