Hi neighbor

We spent the weekend on Block Island, and in the local packy I saw that they are again making Narragansett beer, which in my misspent youth was the kind of stuff you drank strictly from sobriety – $2 change for a kinger six, and the resulting piss had more flavor than the beer.

I spoke to the proprietor, and she told me it’s been revived as a retro craft-type beer. Interestingly enough, it’s currently brewed in NY, not RI; but she also mentioned that they’ve sent a few shipments of RI water to NY to brew “limited edition” Gansett.

I bought a bottle and drank it in my hotel room that evening. It’s decent; nothing special, but a good lager, and certainly not the horror it was back then.
