Harpoon St. Patrick’s Festival 2010

Parker — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 02:34:30 +0000

The 2010 Harpoon Brewery St. Patrick’s day celebration will take place on Friday, March 6th and Saturday, March 7th. Plan to show up to the South Boston brewery early because there WILL be a line. This celebration is a rain or shine event – it will be hosted under huge tents, with the outdoor section opening up behind the brewery as the weather allows.

As you know, nobody does a celebration of life, beer, and music quite like Harpoon. The city of Boston will be in attendance, so make sure you are too!

Tickets will be sold at the door, starting at 5:30 on Friday, and 2pm on Saturday. Free shuttles will run from South Station to the waterfront brewery regularly.

Better beer for Boston Bars in 2010

The new year is around the corner. Many people will join a gym, promise to quit smoking or drinking so much, or tell themselves that they will find a better job in 2010. All great resolutions, but all will be forgotten once the weather turns. In the spirit of resolutions, I challenge the owners and managers of Boston’s bars and pubs to take up a resolution in 2010. Sell better, and more beer. Mix up the taps. Sure, Harpoon IPA and Sam Seasonals are great, don’t get me wrong, but how about throwing some variety into the mix. Let’s see some smuttynose, shipyard, cisco and ipswitch. Keep it local, but spice it up. In particular the bars in the financial district, southie, and back bay need a change. Let 2010 be the year of craft beer!

Harpoon Brewery was founded in 1986 by Dan Kenary and Rich Doyle after extensively traveling Europe and drinking diverse, fresh and local European beers. They were most intrigued by the community aspect of the European breweries, which is a cornerstone of Harpoon Brewery and its core mission statement, Beer is Best Enjoyed Among Friends and their motto, Love Beer, Love Life, Harpoon.

In New England, Harpoon’s annual beer production is second only to Anheuser-Busch and is greater than any other New England craft brewer.

At their south boston brewery, Harpoon hosts various member-only tastings, called friends or Harpoon, tours, and annual parties which are open to the public.
