Narragansett celebrates the return of fall with our seasonal craft brew, Fest. Available at bars and package stores where 'Gansett is sold in 16oz tall boy cans and draft. Look for the bright orange can or ask your retailer today. We hate to see summer go, but the changing of the seasons is just so exciting. Especially autumn in New England. The weather’s still nice and there’s lots to do. Enjoy apple picking, pumpkin carving, festivals and more this season. So roll out the barrel and have another beer because the Narragansett Fest is here.
Roll out the Barrel: 5.5% Alcohol by Volume and 22 IBUs. This traditional German Oktoberfest style beer is brewed with the highest quality German malt & hops. Available during the fall season on tap and in 16oz Cans.
Quality Supreme: The Fest is craft brewed in small batches at North American Brewery in Rochester, NY under the supervision of the award winning brewmaster, Sean Larkin from Trinity Brewhouse and Revival Brewing. Vienna, Pilsner, Light and Dark Munich malts make up the backbone of this beast, and Northern Brewer & Tettnanger hops are added to give it a crisp but subtle hop flavor. Winner of the silver medal in the 2010 World Beer Championship. Winner of the gold medal in the Oktoberfest category at the 15th annual Great International Beer & Cider Competition in Providence, RI 2011. Winner of the silver medal in the 2011 World Beer Championships.
Taste & Enjoy: Gansett Fest is a great example of a traditional amber-brown German Oktoberfest style beer. It is perfectly balanced with four varieties of malts and two styles of hops. This is an extremely easy drinking autumn seasonal beer, but one you will want to savor as the rich malt profile complements the crisp, but not overpowering, hop flavor perfectly.
The History: The Narragansett Brewery will always be known as the home to thousands of colorful stories over the course of its incredible history. At least a small truckload of those stories revolve around the Oktoberfest celebrations that would take place on the brewery grounds every fall. Whether it was a slightly out-of-control party on the roof, assorted parking disasters, or just plain old good times eating bratwurst and drinking Gansett Oktoberfest Beer in green velour tyrolean hats & lederhosen, the good times always rolled. And the statue of King Gambrinus, the Patron Saint of Beer, always kept a watchful eye on the festivities at the brewery. So it is fitting that his image graces the label of Gansett Fest as a tribute to both our brewing heritage and the Oktoberfest celebrations of days gone by

I’ve been looking to autumn for the Narragansett Fest…I’m enjoying one as I write.
I would love it if it were available throughout the year ( maybe under a different name?)
It is my favorite, then comes the porter, …great beers. My father would be happy to know that I’m having a ’gansett, it was his brand.
Good luck,

Hi Tim,
Thanks for letting us know on this. What stores do you shop at? We’ll have to send someone in and make sure they know it’s available and are stocked.
Cheers!
The Fest is outstanding. Too bad it is so hard to find. Somebody in the distribution chain messed up this year. Most places just tell me they didn’t know it was available and last year it showed up as a promotion. I’m sure they like to have since I wasn’t the only one asking for it.
I’m just lucky I was able to stock up. The Oktoberfest cellar is stocked for the year.
Thanks for a great beer.
Tim
Hi Neighbor, Marc!
That’s great to hear. Sorry you are having issues finding the throwback cans. They come in 12oz only and are inside the 30pks, 12pks and 18pks. It was limited so some stores might be sold out by now. Hope this helps you find some. Thanks and have a great day.
Cheers!
I live in southern Maine and drank my first Narragansett in college in the late 1970’s in the throwback cans you have been promoting. However, I have been unable to find any retailer who sells these cans. For old times sake, please advise where I can purchase them. None of my regular stores have them in stock. Thanks and keep up the good brewing.
Marc
