Flashback to 1986. 3 buddies, 2 weeks in Europe, and 1 simple question: “Why don’t they make beer like this back home?” 40 years later, here we are.
Join us at our 4-day long celebration June 18th through June 21st, as we raise a glass to the last 40 years of Harpoon Brewery with $4.40 Harpoon IPA pints (for 4 days of 40th celebrations), limited-edition 16oz can debut of our 40th Anniversary Ale, and limited edition 40 Years of Firsts Merch and Harpoon Memorabilia all weekend long.
