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.

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... |

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..... 
And remember.....this guy was the brewmaster during the 70' and 80's so..... 
You know what they say about American Beer its like Making Love in a Canoe.....

They'll have to add a new category to the Striperfest activities:
Who can spew the longest "chum-line".  |

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. |
