Before starting the brewery, the founding team of Dan Kenary and Rich Doyle traveled throughout Europe in search of various beer and brewery styles upon which they would model their own ("product research" we think they called it). Harpoon Brewing Company was founded in 1986, quite early in the US microbrew renaissance.

The midnight wheat addition adds plenty of dark color and flavor without an overabundance of bitter char and smoke. There’s plenty of deep roasted malt lending some char, but Harpoon has managed to nail the balance of this tricky style, as the dark malts and bold hops play well together. These notes carry over to the palate where the array of very American hops deliver lots of juicy citrus notes. Look for citrus hop aromas, underscored by some roasty notes, and a touch of earth. Pouring a very deep brown-black with reddish highlights, this brew delivers a big head of sticky foam that retains well. The team at Harpoon was kind enough to resurrect the recipe and brew a limited release batch just for our members. Originally brewed for their “100 Barrel Series” of one-off beers, this limited edition brew is normally only available-occasionally-in Harpoon’s seasonal IPA Adventure mixed packs.
