Narragansett Beer is back to make waves all summer long in honor of the 50th anniversary of “Jaws,” which first hit theaters June 20, 1975. It’s been five decades since that iconic moment when Captain Quint (played by Robert Shaw), a boat, a beast, and a cold can of 'Gansett lager get absolutely crushed on screen.
To celebrate, Narragansett Beer is bringing back the 1975 retro cans, the same design that starred in “Jaws.”
“Narragansett’s cameo in ‘Jaws’ isn’t just a cool trivia fact ― it’s a badge of honor,” said Mark Hellendrung, CEO of Narragansett Beer, in a statement. “That can-crushing moment connected us with generations of movie lovers and beer drinkers. Fifty years later, we’re still proud to be part of the legacy of a film that changed cinema ― and summer ― forever. This celebration is our way of saying thanks. So, let’s crush some cans, swap some stories, and party like it’s 1975.”
Since first bringing the retro can back in 2012, ‘Gansett has stayed true to its cinematic roots, hosting screenings, popping up at community events, and keeping the spirit of summer and great beer alive and well, it says.
