After changing hands several times, the brand was bought in 2005 by a team of local Rhode Island investors led by former juice executive Mark D. Hellendrung, who announced plans to expand its market share and reinvigorate the Narragansett brand identity. Since the purchase, the brand has been revitalized with the help of former brewer Bill Anderson, and new packaging. Narragansett beer, now contract brewed by Genesee Brewing Company, has been available again throughout Southern New England since spring of 2006. The lager and light beers are brewed at their brewery in Rochester, New York, while the bock and porter are craft-brewed in Providence, Rhode Island and Pawcatuck,

Rochester has everything

Was this beer created in Rochester or something? There were a lot of assumptions made here and none of them were explained.

Huh. Well, I guess the Rochester-'Gansett connection was not as strong as I first assumed.

Thank you for your time.

Is it better than the four guys that walk into a swamp, set up camp and break out the Milwaukee's Best and declare "It just doesn't get any better than this"

It's...fine. Goes well with New England food like lobster rolls and shrimp cocktail. If I had a backyard, and friends to fill it, and declared a crawfish boil it's what I'd stock a tub of ice with. If I was going to Chiavetta's some chicken and roast some corn, it'd work great.

We all grew up on Genesee beer.

In other news, until this very moment I had no idea Quint was drinking a Nasty-gansett. I knew it was a beer can but didn't know the brand.

I don't drink cheap beer ever since RIT.

How can a bunch of drunks from Rochester not have anything to say about 'Gansett?

30-pack, $19.99 in Fairfield, OH. Cheaper where it's made, I'm sure, which is why I'm asking the Rochester "experts", which now I'm starting to doubt that there are any.

(I am referring to the beer.)

That can't be the only cultural reference you know. I mean, there's the main one. These cans I bought today even mention it on the can.

Most of the people in the world know it only from one cultural reference, and Stephen King sure as shit ain't it.

Narragansett never really made it this far, at least not until the craft beer explosion of the 2000s. I've never had one. and the only reference I have is a quip from Stephen King in his book IT, where the character refers to it as "Nasty-gansett"

He may be referring to the beer. This calls for a beer. Are you referring to the beer, Pinback?
