Adam and Paige were fantastic, they kept me entertained throughout the tour. While the tasting was lacking, compared to Sams, I enjoyed the overall experience. We discussed different facts about beer.Īfter the tour, I decided to have a few drinks at the bar. The final stop was right above the bottling area. During the Sam Adams’ tour, you sit down and they pass a pitcher around. The thing that I did not like was you have to go to the taps like a regular bar. The next stop, after passing through the Tasting Room, was to discuss the brewing process. While this was going on, I took the opportunity to take pictures of flags along the wall. The first stop was to give us a brief history lesson about Harpoon. It began with a brief overview and then we crossed an elevated walkway that overlooked the storage area. The company which owns Harpoon, as well as Catamount Brewing, UFO Brewing, Clown Shoes. Before you enter the brewery, you have to put on glasses.Īdam and Paige led the tour. Bay in 1986 he holds brewing license 001 in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The tour began at the far right, on the other side of the bar. The check in counter, where I purchased my tour ticket, is to the right. It extended to left far left of the floor. When entering the brewery, you have to take the stairs to the second level.Īt the top of the stairs was a gift shop. After I purchased my ticket, it was back outside.Īfter a few more minutes, I was allowed back inside. (Of note, Sam Adams only takes ‘donations’ for its tour). At this point, a runner from upstairs came to get anyone going on the 5:20pm tour. Wow! So many thoughts crept into my mind…why are all these people out drinking? Who comes to a brewery when it is 5 degrees out? What is pi?Īfter my slight meltdown, I hung out in the line for about 30 minutes. The line was about 20 people deep and the wait was about a 45 minute wait to get inside. My excitement quickly turned to disappointment when I saw a line formed outside. All I could think was, ‘what in the hell are you thinking’? Anyway, after what felt like and eternity, I arrived at Harpoon Brewery around 4:30pm. There were snow drifts everywhere and the wind was howling. I began the half mile walk (my visit right after Bombogenesis) and it was COLD. They offered a few suggestions, but the only one that sounded appealing was Harpoon Brewery. Since it was 5 degrees outside, I did not want to walk that far. While at Sapore, I asked the bartenders for suggestions of things to do near the hotel.
