#Harpoon brewery stock update#

One thing that has changed: in August 2014 Harpoon became an employee owned company! We still love brewing beer and enjoying it with friends. Though many things have changed since the early days of Harpoon, much has stayed the same.

It was hard to imagine that craft brewing would become what it has today. Fresh, local craft beer began making its way out to Boston beer drinkers. Boston, MA (July 10, 2014) The Harpoon Brewery, brewers of Harpoon IPA and UFO beers, is proud to announce that effective August 1st it will become an employee-owned company. In June of 1987 a warehouse space on the Boston waterfront was transformed into a brewery and the first Harpoon Ale was brewed. They decided to build a brewery so that they could brew the beers that they wanted to drink, and invite their friends to the brewery to drink it with them. Traveling through Europe and experiencing the rich traditions of European brewing and beer drinking enhanced their love of beer and opened their eyes to the rich beer culture they wanted back home. They were three friends who loved beer and loved drinking beer together but found the beer choices at the time to be limited. Harpoon was started in 1986 by Dan Kenary, Rich Doyle, and George Ligeti.

Today, Harpoon Brewery is one of the largest craft breweries in the United States, producing more than 60 different styles of beer. The company’s name is a nod to the historic harpoon guns used to hunt whales in the 1800s.
