Grab a pretzel with your pint, make it salty. Also, avoid the regular beers and explore the limited batch brews. If you can, come to an x-night event, much fun
Joseph CettinaAugust 16, 2014Pretzels were warm and soft w rock salt on top dipping cheese and mustard sauces on the side were the best would order it again
Kendall P.July 27, 2013Tour is interesting. You get ~20 min at the taps for a tasting of a limited selection of their beer. Ask the people pouring for one if the combinations. The pretzels in the beer garden are $4 and okay
Hudson VantreaseAugust 11, 2013Ask a bartender for advice on the pilot beers, some of them are amazing and you can only get them at Harpoon.
Kevin ChiuJuly 2, 2016Great vibe. Love the white ufo. Pretzels are made from brewing byproducts and are awesome! 😍
Courtney ThompsonAugust 8, 2012Complimentary tastings twice a day that is all you can taste in an hour. A very informative staff excited about the beer. It's out of the way but so worth it.
matt sMarch 25, 2013Pretzels, cheese, mustard. Any beer you can get, but I really liked the "chocolate truffle", chocolate stout with raspberry UFO.
Jason BaronMarch 23, 2019I’m 42 and easily twice as old as everyone here. Just saying. Still good beer!
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 ?
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
Calvin MultanenSeptember 27, 2015Do the brewery tour. $5, great guides, and includes 20 minutes of free tasting. Grab a pretzel after the tour
Meghan BraggSeptember 2, 2015Took my dad here for his birthday and had a blast!!! The cinnamon pretzel is a must try!!! 😋👍🏻🍻
LoriSeptember 7, 2013Tour is no longer worth $5 even though this is the only beer I like. You don't get the full tour of the brewery anymore and you don't get to keep the tasting glass.
Russell CaluriOctober 28, 2019A must stop. Make sure you spend the $5 for your. You get 10-15 minutes of all you can drink tasters
Really fun brewery tour. Afterwards hang out in the beer garden and get the pretzel.
Matteo PastoreApril 28, 2017Love the beer tasting during the brewery tour. Highly recommended experience also to have a beer in the lounge
Cara TerezMay 8, 2013Delicious beer and pretzels. Make sure to ask about the rotating pilot batches of beer!! Mmm lemon elderberry ale.
Stephen L.September 2, 2012Contrary to what the website says, they tend to sell out by 12:30 for all tours on weekends. By early 2013, they'll be opening a beer hall here that will sell pints.
BSeptember 8, 2012Great staff, extremely knowledgeable and friendly along with a generous supply of tastings, don't leave Boston without a sip from the gods sweet nectars.
A. C.May 3, 2012Growlers available to go at one of the best prices around. $7.99 for great, fresh beer. Some of the specialty beers are little more. I fill up every time I am in the area.
Manny CabralAugust 31, 2015The place to be in Boston! You can buy "production beer" & enjoy a good bar scene.
Pretzels and fresh beer selection. The men's bathroom has a great view!
Sabina B.September 9, 2014Really friendly staff who drop solid knowledge and pour generously during tastings. Try the Dunkel!
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.
Michael DurkinJune 15, 2015Their pretzels along with all their beers are magnificent. Highly recommended this place
One of the best breweries i've ever been to! Go on the weekend tours ... they keep your complimentary glass filled the entire hour!
Great vibes, beer and pretzels. Right along the waterfront- you can't go wrong.
ThomasOctober 10, 2013Imperial IPA strongest alcohol content 10% you would never know. It's better than them all
Eric AndersenAugust 12, 2015Wow, get the Saison Forte Rouge when it's available — it's Harpoon's original recipe from 1986!
Gary PerezJanuary 6, 2013This is a great last thing to do on your way to the airport. Lots of free beer.
Denise KaminskySeptember 2, 2013Great tour with Beer tastings of 10+ beers. Pretzels great. Nice Beer Hall, free parking.
Gideon OlshanskyOctober 19, 2015My favorite selection pretzels and beer. You must get the beer cheese.
The cider is made from apples from Harvard, Massachusetts (about 40 minutes away from the brewery). Makes a delicious brew.
Collette SNovember 17, 2015Get the pretzel and tasting flights. Fantastic dipping sauces for the pretzels!!
Lee AllenAugust 8, 2014The spicy mustard for the pretzels was so spicy I was in tears. So, pretty much the best spicy mustard ever.
Steve FinchSeptember 27, 2013You can rent the back room for meetings. Good A/V equipment, though the acoustics leave a lot to be desired. Still, the benefit of having beer on tap a few feet away should never be discounted.
Pretzel with the garlic Parmesan butter and a nice fresh beer... omg
Rachel MondrickAugust 13, 2013Their apple cider is delicious. But if you're looking for a light fruity beer go for the UFO Raspberry. 👌
