Harpoon Brewery Experience

Tuesday, June 11, 3:45pm-5:00pm

After traveling through Europe and enjoying its widely diverse beer culture, three college friends dreamed of bringing it to Boston. In 1986, they did just that: Harpoon Brewery received Brewing Permit #001 in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and began pioneering a craft beer revolution. 

Join fellow FEI innovators for a private guided tour of the inner workings of Massachusett's first craft brewery in Boston's famous Seaport District. This interactive tour will cover the brewery's renowned history as well as its unique craft brewing and packaging processes, culminating in an interactive tasting session of Harpoon's unique beer, cider and seltzer offerings.
