Narragansett Beer Represents RI at White House Made in America Event
The event, that was held on Monday, July 17, highlighted one company from each state to celebrate American-made products.
“I brought Narragansett Beer back 12 years ago because I believed then, and even more strongly now, that local and independent business matters. It’s no secret that the biggest beer brands in the country are either foreign-owned or foreign-made, so I encourage everyone to go out and support independent craft brewers like Narragansett and even more broadly, support American-made or locally owned products. We’re proud to be the 35th largest brewery in the country and Made in America since 1890.” – Mark Hellendrung, President and CEO.
