hahahha :hihi:

I suppose it could be Genesse...

I think your all having flashbacks of youthful indiscretions:buds::buds::yak5: its not that bad for a domestic lager but it has to be real cold

GIQ's were 50 cents, the drinking age was 21 then too. I remember Narragansett

hey neighbor, have a gansett!

Nobody remembers oldies like Pabst, Schlitz, or Schmidts :err:?? That stuff makes Genesee and Naragansett look good :humpty:.

I'd take a Pabst over a Gansett any day....PBR Talls...thats Livin

wide mouth cans

Local Brew?
 

NFN, isn't 'gansett brewed in St. Louis now?

Hey I grew up on Gennee cream ale... Or even better the 12 horse.

In college we'd get cases of Piels long necks for $6 and change...

I used to work a warehouse job during college breaks and we had to come in to take inventory on a Sat. every year. At lunch, someone would run out and pick up PBR talls and we'd finish up the day by drinking at work. That was about 18 years ago. I still pick up a 6 pack of PBR talls at least once a year for old times sake.

Anyone remember Stroh's? I think they were the first beer to come out with a 30 pack. Not very good stuff, but it did the trick back in the day.

without a doubt.:buds:

I think gansett's made in rochester NY now "under the supervision of rhode islanders" or something. I dunno I think pbr and gansett are both pretty inocuous. They really don't have a strong enough flavor to be offensive. I like them both as hot weather beers.

Pabst is the only American beer I can drink - although it's been more than a few years since I last had one -

Used to drink 'em when I lived in Florida...yup, red necks, white socks and Pabst Blue Ribbon beer...

On the other hand, a Narrie for $1.50 sounds good - beats $6 Amstels in Newport anyway...:hs:

I actually know the new owners - and they have done a good job of re-establishing the brand

Although I doubt it's "made with pure Scituate spring water" anymore...

By Genesse

Go figure. :rotflmao:

Are you guys telling me that if thats all there will be at the Striperfest you'll all go dry? RIGHT ,sure you will:cheers2:

I remember going to parties at Syracuse where they'd pull up Gennessee trucks and unload keg after keg into the frat houses. I think we used to pay 50 cents for a cup to drink all you wanted. Even at that price, Gennessee was a ripoff. Probably my worst memory of going there to visit friends.

Narragansett is the first beer I drank. My father drank it and his father drank it so I drank it! :)

Genee cream was not bad. The plain Genee was bad.You could leave a six pack in the fraternity fridge and noone would steal it! That's bad!

Best from the narragansett Brewery was haffenreffer Private stock. A malt ale affectionately called Green Death.

wait, so Harpoon is out?

WOAH.....Thats just Crazy talk....I'll pretty much drink anything.

Old Milwaukee was my Go To beer in High School....unless I was Broke...then it was GIQ's of Black Label or a six of Red,White, And Blue.

Other Notables

Fort Schuyler
Kappy's
Quick Stop (think 7-11 having there own brand)

I always have it in my fridge. Along with some Cape Cod Red and IPA and Cisco's Whale's Tale. Gansett is smooth and easy to drink, perfect after cutting the grass or any other chore. For those who remember it being bad you probably drank the stuff that was brewed by Falstaff in the 80's. They have retained the last original brew master and the stuff is really good IMHO. I like it a lot better than Bud. I had the good fortune of meeting Mark Hellendrung on the Cape a couple of years ago and he is such a nice guy. He donated the beer at 2 of our open houses in Falmouth and it was a huge hit with well to do crowd that attended. Give it a try again sometime with an open mind. You'll be surprised.

How Old is this guy.....the company was founded in 1888.

I think they are saying in that article that they brought on a former Brew-master.....not one of the originals. Now if this guy redid the recipe it may be better...but my memories of it are one Overly Carbonated flavorless beverage....not to say I still wouldn't drink it.....:hee:

And remember.....this guy was the brewmaster during the 70' and 80's so.....:huh:

You know what they say about American Beer its like Making Love in a Canoe.....

cape cod red and summer as well as the cisco beers are some of my favorites. You're right about gansett very smooth and ligth great thirst quencher when the weather's warm!

They'll have to add a new category to the Striperfest activities:

Who can spew the longest "chum-line".:yak:
