About
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.

Interesting. It’s a little hoppy, almost tastes closer to a black IPA than a stout.

Bottle from Systembolaget. A pleasing and meaty amber ale that doesn't punch up or down. Nice.

Taste like a weird car bomb. Smell is awful. Not terrible, but need two others for a 12oz can.

The aromas are mild pumpkin spice with relatively dry almost tart flavors similar to Nose. Okay body with slightly aggressive carbonation.
