I'm a big fan of Guinness, but long before I came to love the Guinness, I was hooked on the dragon. Jamaica's Dragon Stout, that is.

In its heyday the Caribbean Inn vibrated with life
Most days, either going to work or heading back home, I pass a boarded up building on 24th and Walnut that looks pretty unassuming but still vibrates with life for me. I'm talking about the days of the Caribbean Inn, a neighborhood place that welcomed everyone with a Red Stripe or Dragon Stout.
