Narragansett

You know you are from New England if you are drinking Narragansett. Well, I am drinking Narragansett and I am not from New England so I wonder is the opposite true? Does drinking Narragansett make you from New England? Well, the resident Narragansett expert is out on that one. However, he has informed me all about the dynamic history of this cheap (yet delicious) beer from 1890. The company went bankrupt. It was later bought be a millionaire who wanted to continue producing this impressive beverage. At the moment the beer is brewed at several different breweries and is available at 853bars (courtesy of the counter on the Narragansett website). He has an ambitious goal to buy back the original brewery. The goal is to sell 7.5million cases. He needs your help to reach this goal. It is not as easy a goal to support as one may think, Narragansett beer is hard to find. Apparently you can only find it in select shops in New England...lame. If you want to sell 7.5million cases you should really expand your market base. God dammit people that's business 101.
