Chris MetzAugust 13, 2014Beer is great, mix leviathan with the apple cider and you will be very happy!
Meghan BraggSeptember 2, 2015Took my dad here for his birthday and had a blast!!! The cinnamon pretzel is a must try!!! 😋👍🏻🍻
- Recep Cag KendirciogluSeptember 26, 2016Interesting place for out-of-towners to visit! Tour is relatively quick and weekdays it seems slow.
Paul SailerAugust 31, 2014You're crazy if you don't get a pretzel. The Cheese IPA is good, but the Jack Rye is even better.
The cider is made from apples from Harvard, Massachusetts (about 40 minutes away from the brewery). Makes a delicious brew.
Rico RomeroMarch 23, 201520 beers on tap, yet flights are upwards of $12. $5 tour but can't try all beers for less than $40.
Denise HillMay 5, 2013Super nice tasting area! try the raspberry UFO!! Yum! $5 gets you a your & tasting
Many different beer varieties that aren't available elsewhere. And the pretzels!!
Eric AndersenAugust 12, 2015Wow, get the Saison Forte Rouge when it's available — it's Harpoon's original recipe from 1986!
Jason SigalAugust 27, 2014Skip the parmesan pretzels... the original salted are much better, especially when accompanied by one of the many great sauce options.
Boston.comMay 7, 2012Free tastings in theSouth Boston Waterfront brewery weekdays are at 4 p.m.; there is an additional tasting at 2 p.m. on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Read more
Pretzels are top notch. Paired with any Harpoon beer, you will be in heaven.
Carrie BevisSeptember 30, 2014This place was packed by 12 pm on a Saturday. People come for the Harpoon beer, but stay for the warm, doughy pretzels.
Dano RenelMay 15, 2021Per the city of Boston mandate ( 5/14/21) you MUST order something to eat while you enjoy a beer or two. Huh ?
Jake FochettaMarch 27, 2016Dunk your pretzel in beer. Just kidding, don't do that. They give you some nice dipping sauces.
Gary PerezJanuary 6, 2013This is a great last thing to do on your way to the airport. Lots of free beer.
Come for the amazing beer stay for the amazing pretzels. (And views)
CherylSeptember 13, 2013Awesome tour. Brewery history in addition to beer info and unlimited samples for 15 min or so
Stijn HenricusAugust 6, 2014The hefeweizen is Yumyum. As are the pretzels: original or cinnamon-sugar.
Pretzels are great paired with a beer, although they're more like bagels than pretzels.
Pat AddamsAugust 21, 2014Good idea to tip the bartenders ten dollars per pour if you want good service!
Sandra RubinchikJune 16, 2015Shell out $5 for a 1-hour tour that includes a 20-minute all-you-can-drink portion.
Stephanie ChadimaMarch 18, 2011Show up early for the tastings you miss out on the important drinking time if you dont. Loved it, its a must goA
TJ McDonaldAugust 21, 2014This place is awesome. The bartenders are not afraid to drop nuclear bombs on your tastebuds. Don't challenge them. They will destroy you.
Cory O'BrienSeptember 10, 2012Lots of great beers to try, some of which you can only get at the brewery.
Matthew TuckerJune 15, 2013Beer flight. Pretzel with ale mustard and garlic parmesan. Can't go wrong.
Hit up the tours early on weekends. They alway sell out (and are way better than the Sam Adams tour)
Pretzel with the garlic Parmesan butter and a nice fresh beer... omg
Alex LombardJune 3, 2013Go salty instead of sweet on the pretzel. Garlic Parmesan parsley butter RULES!- "Cheese IPA" are the only two words you need to utter when ordering pretzel dips.
Alexander CernikJune 6, 2014Can't beat the 20 min "lets get weird" tour guide approved, drink as much as you can tastings
ThomasOctober 10, 2013Imperial IPA strongest alcohol content 10% you would never know. It's better than them all
