Harpoon Releases Pumpkin Cider

Harpoon Brewery is expanding their cider program. Pumpkin Cider is starting to hit shelves as you read this. Pumpkin Cider uses fresh pressed apples, spices and of course pumpkins. Straight from the sales sheet:

Apples and pumpkins are two of the best things about fall in New England. It was only a matter of time before we decided to bring them together. We combined fresh apples and pumpkins, along with some subtle spices, to make this cider. We left out preservatives, artificial colors, sweeteners and anything else that could get in the way of the flavors we wanted. 

Style: Cider (w/ Pumpkin)
Availability: 12oz bottles, Fall seasonal.

4.8% ABV

Harpoon’s 100 Barrel #43: White IPA

Harpoon 100 Barrel White IPAIntroducing Harpoon Brewing’s 43rd session in their 100 Barrel Series: White IPA.

I wanted to brew a uniquely American beer that would maintain the signature characteristics of two distinct styles while forging a direction of its own. Simcoe, Cascade, and Citra hops give this beer the citrus and floral notes of an IPA. while the spiciness and soft mouthfccl are more reminiscient of a Belgian Wit. I hope you enjoy this hoppy and refreshing beer. Cheers! 

Style: IPA 
Hops: Citra, Cascade, Simcoe Availability:  22 oz bombers, Draft

Arrival: May, 2012

Harpoon’s 100 Barrel Ginger Wheat Returns

Harpoon 100 Barrel Ginger Wheat

Harpoon is releasing the 42nd Session in the 100 Barrel Series this month.  Ginger Wheat will be bottled this week.  This isn’t the first time that this Ginger has seen the series, last packaged in 2009.

The Harpoon 100 Barrel Series Ginger Wheat Ale is an ode to brewer Scott Shirley’s favorite spice, ginger. The earthy, warming flavor of this golden-hued ale is derived from fresh ginger. Honey from a local New Hampshire farm yields a slight sweetness to balance the ginger spiciness. A hint of lemon adds acidity and rounds out the ginger flavor. Cheers!

Style: Wheat Beer (w/ Ginger)
Availability:  22 oz bombers, Draft
Arrival: May, 2012

6.2% ABV
