Crush a 1975 'Gansett throwback can while you watch Shark Week in honor of Robert Shaw, aka Captain Quint. The famous Jaws actor would have been 86 tomorrow. So we're reintroducing a 1970s can design featured in the movie ’’Jaws.’’
This design depicting a ship and a red diagonal stripe is being re-released temporarily in honor of the Discovery Channel’s ’’Shark Week,’’ which began Sunday. In the 1975 film, Capt. Sam Quint, the shark hunter played by the late Robert Shaw, crushes a can of ’Gansett with one hand to intimidate the oceanographer, Matt Hooper played by Richard Dreyfuss.
Look for this limited-edition can inside all 30pks, 18pks and 12pks at your participating retailer today.

Is there going to be a Crush the Can tee shirts available just like the picture above?
Hi Steve,
Unfortunately, we don’t have the rights to make t-shirts or posters out of this. We can only use it on the internet. Sorry about that.
Cheers!
Hi Mark,
Yes they will be.
Cheers!
Hi Nora,
Unfortunately, since BeerJobber shutdown, there isn’t a way to order them online and sent to Cali. Please enjoy ’Gansett when visiting the east coast.
Cheers!
Hi James,
Depending on the store, they might not yet have the ‘75 design. We did the ’53 in the beginning of summer and are just getting the ’75s out there. So maybe in a week when the store sells through the ’53s they’ll have the ’75s.
Cheers!
