I would have guessed 6% (I had to ask and have my jaw drop when he said 10}. Like a 10% abv Tank 7, it went down real easy with a nice lemony flavor, light body, and dry finish. The second was an imperial saison, and it was truly excellent. Aroma was nice, although a friend said it smelled like a grandmother's bathroom (she must use something lemon-scented to clean). One was a lemongrass mint hefeweizen, which was decent, but a bit subdued. Even more of note, they had 2 pilot beers on tap. Here's hoping they don't let any sit uncapped too long.Īs for the draft menu, they had.everything Harpoon makes on tap around 20 options, including the two current 100-Barrel and two Leviathan series. Employees only had to put the empty growler in and cap it when filled. It C02 purged every growler, and it seemed remarkably easy to function for employees (probably cuts down on a lot of lost product due to foam, too). I did purchase a growler, partially to watch the state-of-the-art fill machine work. I considered buying a few glasses, but didn't pull the trigger. They had about 10 different glassware types, with almost as many styles for sale (although seemed a bit pricey), as well as 6-packs and clothing. Lastly, they had a decent retail store and growler station attached. No TVs either, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

The lack of a full food menu might make it more of a tour overflow place.

It seems the only food they will have is pretzels, but they were hot and delicious, with a few interesting dipping sauces including peanut butter caramel. It's mainly a huge bar (with a second for backup) and a bunch of long beer hall tables (and a few standing room circular tables). The space is really nice, overlooking the brewery and with a decent cityscape on the other side. I guess it is opening to the public on February 1st. Had a chance to go to the Harpoon (Boston) Brewery Beer Hall soft opening (Friends and Family session) tonight.
