Narragansett Beer Celebrates 50 Years of ‘Jaws’ With Iconic Throwback Cans

"When Jaws was filmed, the directors and creators really wanted to make it feel like they're on Martha's Vineyard, going into the culture and current trends on the island," Hope Huban, Community Manager at Narragansett Brewing said.

Narragansett Beer Has Its Moment

It's been 50 years since Jaws first premiered, featuring the views of Martha's Vineyard and a local brewery.

"They saw that locals were drinking Narragansett beer and so that's how they chose Narragansett to be in the movie," Huban said.

The selection of 'Gansett led to the iconic "crush it like Quint" moment. Over the years, it's become a trend which still goes strong today.

"We'll see videos of people crushing it in their hand and posting on social media or paying tribute when they're watching the movie," Huban said.

Everyone Wants to "Crush It Like Quint"

With various screenings and events planned this summer to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the film, Huban said her phone has been ringing off the hook.
