History
According to the official Narragansett Beer website, in 1890 six German immigrants came together with $150,000 to construct a building and start Narragansett Beer, and less than a decade later Narragansett Beer was the largest selling beer in New England. The site's timeline notes that the brewery produced 397 barrels of beer in year one, then jumped to 27,887 in year two, and that in 1901, after 10 full years of production, it turned out 115k barrels of beer. In the early 1900s the company tapped into the New York/New Haven/Hartford Railroad line that ran through the brewery and began building refrigerated railroad cars to ship beer to other cities. By the end of 1910 the brewery had grown to cover 42 acres of land and house more than 30 buildings. The homepage describes Narragansett as 'A New England Tradition for Over 100 Years' and notes it was honored by Tastingtable.com as a Top Region Beer with the Most Loyal Following.
