Dartmouth Cream Ale

Dartmouth has had a long and storied history of alcohol consumption. According to legend, Wheelock came to Dartmouth with "a Gradus ad Parnassum, a Bible and a drum, And five hundred gallons of New England rum." Beer Pong was invented at Dartmouth, and Dartmouth fraternity antics inspired the movie Animal House.

It's no surprise then that Dartmouth would have its own brand of beer. Dartmouth Cream Ale was produced by the Commonwealth Brewing Co. in the late 80s and early 90s. The Commonwealth Brewing Co. was one of the first microbreweries in Boston, but has since closed.

The beer may be long gone, but the bottle still serves as great decoration.
