Narragansett Brewing Co.

THE STORY: Six German immigrants in 1890 came together with $150,000 and built the first Narragansett Beer brewery building. Within 10 years, Narragansett Beer became the largest-selling beer across New England and was a beverage staple for close to a century. After the brewery shut down in 1982, Rhode Island native Mark Hellendrung in 2005 rallied a group of investors to restart the Narragansett Brewing Co. again. The company opened a new brewery in Providence in the spring of 2021.


› Among the 17 beers that Narragansett Brewing Co. currently makes is Musik Express IPA, which became available in April 2021.

› Each six-pack of Musik Express sells for about $11.99 in local liquor stores. The company produced approximately 2,500 case equivalents from April through July 2021.

› Narragansett’s IPAs are the largest style in the craft beer segment. The Musik Express, the company said, is an approachable, well-balanced IPA brewed for a variety of beer lovers.
