HARPOON IPA WITH A UFO CAP WINDOWS
That light pouring through the windows is actually from Heaven. Then it was zero hour through the doors, no looking back. We milled around the retail/ bar area while a previous group did their tasting. That’s about the cheapest you’ll find Harpoon for, and it’s worth it. 22oz bombers of the flagship brew, Harpoon IPA, will only set you back $3, and six packs are $8. Lots of tshirts, sweatshirts, glassware and, of course, beer begging you to adopt it like a sad little puppy at the animal shelter. Harpoon also goes a little nutty with merchandise, just not to the extent of Magic Hat. $5 later, you’re headed up the stairs to the retail area. You go around the right side of the building following the tour/ brewery store signs. When we finished, the 1:30 tour only had about seven or eight people lined up.
We got there at noon for the 12:30 slot, and had about 25 other people in our group. Get there earlier rather than later, as tours tend to sell out. It’s $5 for an hour tour, including a 20 minute or so tasting session, tasting glass and handy little pamphlet explaining the myriad of tasty drinky drinks. They do tours and tastings every Saturday 10:30a-5p, and Sunday 11:30a-3p. Jeezum Crow! (Thanks for getting that one stuck in my head, LB). She even parks across the street from the brewery and works about a block away. Lady Friend, despite living in MA for a number of years, had not. Like any true Bostonian/ Massachusettserite/ New Englander, I’ve been to Harpoon for the tours and tastings several times.
