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.
