harpoon

Windsor, VT

Harpoon was a very nice stop.  We had obviously had several Harpoon beers and more or less knew what to expect.  The taproom and garden are sparkling clean and updated, and a few hop vines are climbing around outside.  This visit, we tried a kolsch, raspberry wheat, imperial ipa, imperial rye, cider, belgian pale, and pilsner.  10 AM wasn’t the ideal time of day to sample the imperials – each were around 10% – but both were nicely done.  The imperial IPA is way better than their normal IPA.  Also, the cider was a nice touch.  Not many folks are doing ciders nowadays, but more ciders like this would be a pleasure.  Dry, slightly sweet, fresh, this one is way more appropriate in the late morning.
