That means it'll be BMOB if Gansett hosts the end of the tournament awards ceremony.

Gansett

You got it...Gansett is the new Sponsor and it looks like Harpoon is out.

and I agree.....BYOBeer......gansett is what you buy the day before payday when your digging through the Cushions for loose change.

My Grandfather used to drink that all the time.....and he liked it piss warm.

Supposedly they have improved the taste of the original as well come out with a few new ones. Guess Gansett Fest will be in, well Cranston - Damn, gonna miss my Harpoon but will enjoy short commute.

It's way better now. Mark Hellendrung of EP has done an awesome job bringing the name back and getting a long time local icon back in business. I'm all for bringing local jobs back to RI or the area in general. They did take 3rd in the American Lager division which as the most entries in it at tlast years World Beer Fest. They beat out a lot so called better beers. I still love the Harpoon IPA though. Don't mean to tread on your thread with beer talk. I'll end it there. Thanks.

Beer talk is cool though probably for another thread

I'm not so sure about that--when it first came back, it was advertised as being brewed "according to the original recipe" in upstate NY, not Cranston.

And the sample I tried at RISAA a couple of years ago sure as hell tasted like the SOS.
