USA, MA: Grateful Harvest Ale from Harpoon Brewery now available

The Harpoon Brewery brings back Grateful Harvest Ale, a New England cranberry ale brewed in the Thanksgiving spirit of giving back to the community, beerpulse.com reported on October, 25.

For every 6-pack of Grateful Ale sold, the Harpoon Brewery will make a $1 donation to the local food bank in the area in which the beer was purchased.

In 2011 and 2012 combined, Harpoon Helps donated $49,608 to local food banks through Grateful Harvest sales. The brewery anticipates approximately $35,000 will be donated to local food banks based on sales of Harpoon Grateful Harvest this year alone.

Harpoon Grateful Harvest Ale will be available in bottles from early October through early December. This beer is an ideal beer for the Thanksgiving season.

Since 1986, Harpoon was the first brewery to brew commercially in Boston after a dormant period of about 25 years. Harpoon’s line of craft beer features its award-winning IPA and UFO Hefeweizen beers, along with four special seasonal selections. In 2000 Harpoon purchased a second brewery in Windsor, VT, making Harpoon the 8th largest craft brewer in the US. Harpoon has since introduced two lines of limited edition beers, the 100 Barrel Series and the Leviathan Series.
