8/30/2023 0 Comments Harpoon octoberfest![]() ![]() ![]() Last year, more than 14,000 people came down to our Boston brewery to celebrate Harpoon Octoberfest, and another 6,000 came out to celebrate with us in Windsor. An estimated 2,000 people came to the first Octoberfest – so many people that Harpooners had to call family members to come and help pour beer! But instead of Boston as the backdrop, you’ve got Vermont’s. A spin on the traditional Mrzen lager served in Germany (per Harpoon), this beverage is an excellent choice for this year's Oktoberfest as well as for the entire fall season. October 7th & 8th Harpoon Octoberfest at our Windsor brewery is much like our festival of the same name in Boston nonstop live oompah music, chicken dancing, cake eating, bratwurst, and of course, barrels upon barrels of freshly brewed Harpoon beer. When they opened the doors the first night of the festival, Rich, Dan and five other Harpoon employees saw the crowds start to roll in. First brewed by the company in 1989, the drink is actually the second-oldest specialty seasonal beer produced. So they took a leap of faith and thought they were going to go out with one last hurrah… ![]() However, in 1991 times were tough for the newly minted brewery, and it was not clear if Harpoon would still be in business for another year. So, if you want to enjoy a Octoberfest celebration at the brewery with your four legged friend, make sure to buy tickets for Dogtoberfest on Sunday. Rich and Dan had always wanted to host a festival at the brewery, as a tribute to the famous fall festival in Munich. Harpoon DOGtoberfest is the only day that weekend that dogs are allowed on the festival grounds. It’s an idea that has been with the company since we first started. Octoberfest means a lot to us here at Harpoon, and not just because it’s an awesome party that we invite thousands of friends to. Tonight we kick off our 22 nd annual Harpoon Octoberfest in Boston, and we couldn’t be more excited to invite everyone to come and enjoy some great craft beer and live music with us! ![]()
