Beer Mug: Harpoon IPA 

By Allan Lamberti on 95.9 The FOX

Brewed in Boston MA

Harpoon started brewing this beer as a summer seasonal in 1993.  There were some great IPAs out in the Pacific Northwest, but no local IPAs on the east coast.  We wanted to have a local IPA, so we brewed one.  People absolutely loved it, and so did they.  So Harpoon made it a year-round beer, and it’s now their bestselling beer and their flagship.

Description: Since its introduction, Harpoon IPA has remained unique in its ability to balance hop bitterness with a strong malt backbone. Dry-hopped with Cascade hops, it has a floral hop aroma and a finish that is bitter (it is an IPA after all!) without being harsh or astringent. Combined with a malty sweetness and the fruity esters of our proprietary yeast, those hops create a beer that is wonderfully hoppy but clean and refreshing enough to enjoy a few of - and we hope you do.
