Both Gansett and Black Label were better than Knickerbocker, though.
The only time Gansett really went down well was around 7:15 AM after you just got off work on the graveyard shift. A couple of 25 cent drafts at Duffy's Bar in Pawtucket were the perfect nightcap. If you really wanted to wake up in a room that smelled like a sewer, you chased a pickeled egg down with a few quarter draft Gansetts 
Gotta love those bars that opened at 6 AM--if you ever wanted to see what hard core boozers looked like, it was like visiting the Smithsonian of Alkies.

My Dad used to buy Black Label and Kinck all the time and I can remember sneaking a few and man they were bad. Knick had rice in the ingrediants and they boasted about that. The Black Label can had to be the coolest design ever. If I remember they had a red Canadian Maple leaf on it with a map of the world and red dots where I'm guessing were supposed Black Label markets. A real international gem!
I never knew it was from Natick.
