Harpoon Brewery
One of my favorite types of establishments to visit while traveling are breweries and Boston is no exception. Having toured the Samuel Adams Brewery, we decided to make the walk through the Seaport District to Harpoon Brewery's Beer Hall. Coming from Northern Virginia where all of the breweries around me are small and locally owned (and make great beer!), stepping into Harpoon's Beer Hall was nothing short of awesome.
I absolutely loved the decor of the place: wooden furnishings; modern but medieval-inspired chandeliers; long beer tables that reminded me of a German Oktoberfest (bucket list item!). To say it was crowded was an understatement, but we managed to squeeze our way into a small section of table and enjoy a few flights.
I'm not a big fan of their UFO White that a lot of bars carry. However, I was quite pleased to see that there was so much more to choose from once inside Harpoon's mothership. Oddly enough, I found myself enjoying other varieties of their UFO, like the Big Squeeze Shandy and Pumpkin. For those who prefer heavier beer, Harpoon has a barrel series as well, all of which were quite good (I wish these were more widely distributed!). But the best part about visiting Harpoon in person are the beers they have on tap that are only available on site. Hello in person perks!
Aside from beer Harpoon has an incredible soft pretzel menu to pair with delicious dipping sauces. And last, but not least, they also have some pretty cool merchandise, like my favorite brewery shirt ever. Well, out of the two that I own. :) So what are you waiting for?! If you're planning a visit to Boston, put Harpoon Brewery on your itinerary. It's easy to get to, has great snacks, and most importantly it has a slew of good beers to try!
