BREAKING BEER NEWS:

Former Patriots star Troy Brown is now part owner of the recently revived classic New England lager, Narragansett Beer.

Brown's association with 'Gansett is just the latest addition to the company's long tradition with New England sports. In the fifties and sixties, it was the offical beer of the Boston Red Sox and before that, 'Gansett was a major sponsor of the Boston Braves.

I won't lie, 'Gansett isn't exactly the highest quality beer on the market. It falls into the "let's make a beer that won't offend anyone" category of most major American beers. However, it has a long history in my home state and, as far as I'm concerned, if I'm going to drink a cheap beer, I'm going to drink one from a small local company rather than a giant conglomorate that treats its workers like shit.

BeerHappens is currently working with a contact at Narragansett Beer to arrange an interview with the three-time world champion football star and budding beer entrepreneur. We'll keep you posted.
