Harpoon Brewery
Commercial Brewery
in Boston,
Massachusetts,
United States 🇺🇸
Associated with 2 Venues
Established in 1986
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.

Bottle. Light reddish-brown. Medium size head. Seems to have more cranberry aroma than flavor. Most of the cranberry taste is in the after taste. Not a bad beer but won’t drink again.

Bottle. Golden in color with a small head. Actually smells better than it tastes. Aroma is like a gingerbread cookie. Taste however, like a gingerbread cookie dunked in beer. Not so good.

Bottle. Should be a fruit beer. Deep gold in color. Aroma is mostly just fruity mango. Taste is somewhat better. Has a pleasant mango taste without being overly sweet.
