The Famous Narragansett Beer

One thing I like about traveling is the food and drink you can try in places far from home.

Last night I bought a 6-pack of "The Famous Narragansett Beer." Really, it says that on the label. The brewery is one of those old local brands that died in the dark days of beer, but was resurrected in 2005. Wikipedia has the details.

It's a really nice American Lager. If it were sold in central Illinois, I'd buy it.

It's very smooth, with plenty of nice warm malt flavor. Not dry, not hoppy - which makes it sort of odd that I'd like it. My sense is there's a lot of corn in here.

It reminds me a bit of Berghoff or Pabst Blue Ribbon. Good stuff.
