Since the House of Blues opened, it has been the only music venue in Boston not to carry 'Gansett. What gives? Well now you can finally have a 'Gansett at all of the shows. It starts tonight with the Dropkick Murphys and their week long celebration of St. Patrick's day. With seven shows in six nights, this is going to be one awesome. Most of them are already sold out. And we are proud to say that Sharks Come Crusin' will also be opening for them on Sunday night. And it gets better. Our tall boys are only going to be sold for $5! The best deal in the house. So next show you go to, have a 'Gansett.
We had such a blast at the last 120th Anniversary Party we decided to do it again. And since we always love Rick's Roadhouse in Providence, why not have it there. Lager drafts and Gansett light tall boys will only be $1.20 tonight during our celebration. The ’Gansett Girls will be on-site with our petition to help build a brewery and all sort of great prizes. The ’Gansett team will also give a speech about our 120th year. Those who take the pledge will receive a loyalty card, a wooden nickel for a free ’Gansett that night and entered into our shwag raffle. You’ll even have the opportunity to record your own pledge video and maybe we’ll post it on the site. So come down from 11pm to 2am tonight and pledge to drink Gansett.
