Harpoon Brewery hails from Boston, which is one of the best drinking cities in the USA. Boston Beer Company (makers of Samuel Adams), Boston Beer Week, and the bar that inspired Cheers! are just a few reasons to love Boston. Will the Harpoon UFO Hefeweizen be yet another […]
The people at River Horse Brewing Company refer to this beer as their “mild English Ale”. Based upon the bottle that I am drinking right now, I’d say they are very accurate. The beer pours to a copper color with a thin, quickly dissipating head, and is well […]
