According to the marketing guys behind Red Stripe, it’s a traditional Jamaican style lager with a rich history. Which is a lie. Red Stripe was first brewed in Illinois for a century before it was bought out by some British guys during Prohibition. Unable to sell in the United States, they marketed it to soldiers stationed in Jamaica. After proving popular in Jamaica, Red Stripe was then marketed back to the States as an exotic foreign brew. Thus proving that, with good enough marketing, you can convince people of anything.
These cups were excavated at the site of what was once Cahokia, and date to around 1100 CE. They bear traces of the ritual “black drink.” Made from yaupon holly leaves which are blackened then boiled to make a soupy caffeine-rich drink, it was used for religious rituals. Similar cups found at Hopewell sites in the Midwest suggest the black drink was made there 1,000 years earlier. And the black drink lives on: multiple Native American groups make and drink it for their rituals today.
