Narragansett Brewing Company
Narragansett Brewing Company traces its roots to December 1890, when six local businessmen brewed the first batch of lager in Cranston, Rhode Island. The beer went on to become New England's best-selling brand, but after the takeover by Falstaff the Cranston plant closed in 1983. Mark Hellendrung and a group of local investors bought the brand back in 2005, and it remains independently owned. Since 2021 Narragansett has brewed in Rhode Island again, at its own brewery and taproom on the Providence waterfront.

How we measure this
Two thresholds are at work here:
- The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
- The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.
A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
Narragansett Lager
