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.....

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.....

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".

The Black Label we drank around here was brewed in Natick "on the shores of Lake Cochituate".

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.

Life's too short to drink cheap beer any more

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.

I still have some beer trays from my grandfather. The Dr. Suess guy did the art for some of them. He used to have them in cases of quart bottles in these extremely strong cardboard boxes. Tried a sample from a pretty young woman in a liquor store a few years back.
