A fishing beer? Anything that's cold, and preferably free 
Although a free 'Gansett might still be overpriced 
Sorry--too many bad high school flashbacks with that name. |

My Grandfather would drink Gansetts.....warm. Thats how he liked them.
He would open up a 16 oz.can and leave it on the kitchen counter....come by every hour or so and pour a little into a small glass and drink it....come back in an hour for another little glass...take him 4-5 hours to drink a can. |

Wow are we related. My Grandfather would do the exact same thing. Small glass and everything. |

Sounds like you had a run in with your share of GIQ's Mike -
I spent a whole summer trying to save money while I was working for college $$$ and pretty much drank Narrie draft exclusively - boy, that was ugly.
Almost took the T.P. out of the bathroom and replaced it with a sponge that summer... 
Personally, I like Amstel - but you'll never find me FWI - I don't drink and fish, never have. Don't fish or boat with people who do either - I'd hate to have to depend on somebody who was 'faced if I was in a jam -
However, I do have a nice little fridge full of cold ones in my tackle room for when I get back home...  |

You might want to check it out again. My Dad said the same thing as you Mike and was really surprised when tried it again. The quality of the brew declined in the last years of production but they have it dialed in now. After fishing I'll toss back a couple and they go down real smooth, espicially if ice cold. |

I agree with the ice cold part. To me gansett's are real easy going, they don't taste bad they just don't really have a strong taste at all kinda like busch or something like that. I like them, great cheap summer beer. I have a hard time finding them in anything bigger than a 6er though. |

The Narragansett Bock is a nice, dark lager. It goes down real smooth. I also tried the regular Gansett lager and it was o.k. There are so many other good beers out there that I wouldn't buy it, but I'd take one from someone elses cooler. |
