If they bring back the GIQ's I'll give it a try again

A GIQ was always good for 2 slow laps around the Ocean Drive...

Its the Official Beer of the Clam
Clam Bake Recipes on cans
Gansett Girl Next Door of the week
Captain Quint favorite beer. Check him out sitting in his fighting chair, downing a gansett and crushing the can.
Most importantly its a pretty decent beer.

Troy Brown is an owner!

When they domolished the old gansett bear factory in Cranston, the surrounding neighborhoods were inundated with thousands (or maybe millions) of rats that were instantly displaced.
Narragansett beer now made in MA.
I think Pabst might be a little better but then again I'm not that discerning. I like all beer.

Gansett teamed up with a local website for a "best can contest"

I am pretty sure it is made at the Genesee brewery in NY not in MASS.

2 minutes of research says your right! Lager and light made in NY but bock and porter are brewed in Providence and Pawcatuck.

I also learned that in Feb 1982 production moved to Fort Wayne, Indiana.
"The water from the Scituate resevoir had been considered the finest in the country; the water in Fort Wayne, not so much"
They started using the Cranston brewery again in Jan 1983 to produce keg beer, but the brand was dead three months later....until 2005 that is.
