Mt? What does that mean? Your glass is empty? Yes, when Naragansett is the only available beer, my favorite is an empty glass.

"Since buying back the Narragansett label from Pabst in 2005, former Nantucket Nectars chief Mark Hellendrung made his brew a fixture in 830 bars in New England and retirement communities in Florida. Originally founded in 1890, the brewing company once had a 65% market share in New England, was touted by Red Sox announcer Curt Gowdy during game broadcasts and was quaffed by big-screen shark hunter Quint in "Jaws." Though cuts similar to those made at Schlitz turned Narragansett into a vile concoction colloquially dubbed "Nasty Narry" in the 1970s, and led to its demise in 1981, the original recipe has returned and a new generation of fans and promotional "Gansett Girls" are helping the company's plans to stop contracting its brewing to a facility in Rochester, N.Y., and build its own brewery in New England.
"Guys under 35 have no memory of the Nasty Narry days when it was swill beer and just love our story and appreciate it on its own merit," he says. "It's those guys in the middle who we have the challenge of convincing that this isn't the Nasty Narry that you may have been stealing from your dad in high school or buying for $9.99 a case when you were in your 20s."

What about Dawson's? I doubt you know that one?They had a brewery near my high school. We could smell it brewing when the windows were open. Didn't like that smell..........maybe that's why I don't like beer.
Dawson & Son Brewery was founded in 1899 in New Bedford Massachusetts by Benjamin Dawson and closed in 1918 for proibition. In 1933 it reopened in New Bedford as Dawson's Brewery, INC. after it was purchased by Benjamin Rockman. Benjamin Rockman's nephew, Samuel Brown, managed the brewery for 35 years.
In 1967 the brewery building were sold to Rheingold(Jacob Ruppert) and the brews were sold to Piels. Rheingold brewed their low calorie "Gablinger" brand at the "Dawson" brewery. The brewery closed for good in 1977 and the brewery buildings are now gone.
The Dawson Brewing Company of Massachusetts did not have any connection to the Dawson Brewing copmany in Allentown Pennsylvania.
I was in school before 1977...
