7/26/2023 0 Comments Harpoon ipa review![]() ![]() Here’s what they had on tap (picture below). We saw the cans winnowed down from the mass you see above, to single rows, where they made their way through turning contraptions into the machine that poured the beer, and then put a lid on it. I did see one employee drinking on the job – though I believe it was coffee from Dunkin’ Donuts. Of course thoughts of Lucy and Ethyl crossed our minds, especially seeing empty cans on the floor. While Harpoon sells kegs and bottles ( read about bottling here), we saw their canning area from the bar/entrance, where large windows let you peer in. You can read all about the brewing process here. This would have been a good primer to read before going on the Sam Adams tour. I’ll tell you a little about the brewery first, and then get into the bar area. Fortunately they had a very large bar and rows of long wooden farm tables to park ourselves, though the waitress kept walking right past us (or not at all – it WAS busy and a Friday afternoon) that I finally had to go to the bar to order from there. Unfortunately, we arrived around 1:30, but the tours were already sold out until 4:30 or later (a common occurrence apparently). The plan was to take a tour of Harpoon, hang out in their brew pub and then head to the airport a few hours later. By the way, this is part of our Boston series, This time I did not go and drink alone, but rather went with my husband who had just finished a week-long course on immunology, and clearly needed a very big beer. Fortunately for me, it was just down the street from the Seaport Hotel where we were staying in the trendy Seaport area. After touring the Sam Adams brewery in Boston (review here), I heard about Harpoon Brewery, another local stop. ![]()
