Harpoon Brewery was founded in 1986 by Dan Kenary, Rich Doyle, and George Ligeti with the mission to bring great craft beer to New England. As holders of Massachusetts Brewing Permit Number 1, they helped ignite the East Coast craft beer revolution and later became an employee-owned cooperative.
Brewed at the historic Harpoon Brewery in Boston, where craft brewing pioneers have experimented with unique grain bills since the mid-1980s. This release highlights the rustic complexity of rye malt combined with traditional Pacific Northwest hops.
