Can't Get Enough 'Gansett: Brewery Top 50 in U.S.
Narragansett Brewing Co. was named to the Brewers Association's Top 50 U.S. Brewing Companies.
Beer drinkers across the country can't get enough 'Gansett.
Narragansett Brewing Co. was a new addition to the Brewers Association's Top 50 U.S. Brewing Companies list based on 2013 sales. The rankings were released last week.
“In 2013, craft breweries reached new all-time highs in production volume and dollar sales,” said Bart Watson, of the Brewers Association, in a statement. “Beer lovers continue to demand high-quality, fuller-flavored and local beers from small and independent craft breweries.”
Narragansett is enjoying a comeback. It sold 65,000 barrels of beer last year, compared to 1,000 in 2004, according to the Boston Business Journal.
This year, the company has an ace up its sleeve in the form of a new beer shandy with Del’s Lemonade. News of the pairing went viral earlier this year.
