In the spirit of our own impromptu tastings held at the kitchen table, we’re trying the tastings and tours of local breweries. Last Friday we visited the Harpoon Brewery in Boston for an hour-long tasting and talk.
Two new beers have been developed recently, both involving the word wet. One is wet hopped, the other, well, has been spit in.
You walk into a bar. You’ve never been there and you’re unfamiliar with its beer list. In fact (like many bars) it doesn’t even have a beer list, so you’re forced to walk close to the bar and squint at the (possibly many) taps. What do you choose? The bartender is impatient and wants an answer now. Your friends have all ordered complicated cocktails, but you just want something simple. Something reliable. So you go for your old standby.
It’s summer time and you know what that means: beer festivals sprouting up all over the place. In the next two weeks you can join BeerAdvocate at their always-amazing American Craft Beer Fest, visit the Harpoon Brewery, or ride your bike over to Redbones.
Bukowski Tavern, Harpoon, and The Weekly Dig have teamed up again for the “Pint and Pen” writing contest. The premise is simple: write a short-short story between 500 and 750 words long. The hard part is including these four essential words: pint, pen, Bukowski, and Harpoon. The harder part is competing against dozens of other word lovers who revel in the romantic notion of being a hard-drinking genius of letters.
No holiday more clearly embodies Boston than St. Patrick’s Day—it’s a celebration of beer, Ireland, and Celtic green. So it shouldn’t have come as a surprise that when Bostonist arrived at Harpoon for the brewery's annual St. Patrick’s Day Festival, we were greeted with the prospect of standing in line behind the ENTIRE city. Somehow, though, we were still shocked.
The dinner bell’s a-ringin’! If you’re feeling a mite peckish and thirsty on top of that, try a few of these beer dinners coming up.
First, for those of you who missed the Harpoon Octoberfest, or were just too lazy to stand outside on a beautiful night sipping delicious beer, allow us to give you some solid facts on which to build an image of the gloriousness you missed--other than great Oktoberfestbier
So, it’s finally October and the big fest in Munich is already winding down. If you’re one of the many of us who can’t just pick up and fly to Germany for the last four days of the official Oktoberfest, don’t fret. Many Americans think the beer party is actually in October, understandably, so there are still several fests to attend!
It’s time for school to start again and for the gazillions of students in Boston that means two things: it’s time to do everything on the cheap and it’s time to get drunk. Unfortunately, this is also a time of year for learning. So kids: listen up. There is absolutely no reason for you to be seen on your porch with a giant, flimsy box of Natty Light, High Life, or… sigh, Pabst. Remember: no matter how much PBR you drink, you will never achieve the working-class-guy-on-a-lawnmower look you so desire, got it?
Okay, so that Michael Phelps kid just won his sixth gold medal in Beijing the other day: he’s about to win the most golds any athlete has ever won in one Olympics. (That’ll be about the thirty-fifth in his collection.) Right. Good for him; he can swim fast. But can he brew a good beer?
