Description
It all started in 1986. Sure, many things have changed since the early days of Harpoon, but much has stayed the same. We still love brewing beer and enjoying it with friends.

In July 2014, Harpoon became an employee owned company, with 48% of the company given to employees through the establishment of an ESOP. An E-what? ESOP stands for Employee Stock Ownership Plan. It is a mechanism by which a company contributes to its employees’ retirement by allocating shares to them which it repurchases…..yadda, yadda, yadda… Here’s what it means: we are employee owned, we are an independent craft brewer, and you bet we’re damn proud of it.

In 2024, Harpoon and Smuttynose merged, forming Barrel One Collective.

Bottle from Shaw's Dark gold in color with a decent sized fluffy white head that recedes. Spicy earthy citrus and a bit of bready maltiness to back it up. Not Bad.

Bottle from Shaw's Brilliant dark straw in color with a thin bubbly bone white head that persists. Bready crackery pilsner maltiness hint of sulfur. Light floral spicy hops and a hint of green apple. Pretty decent.

Hazy yellow colour with quick fading head. Aroma has intense cara malt sweetness. Taste starts off with that too. Then becomes floral and hoppy. Nice dryness. Nice body too.
