You read it right my fellow New Orleanians, Harpoon Brewery beers are now available in town. As of this past Monday(November 3rd)they should have been appearing on shelves. Right now we can only get the IPA(rated a B on Beeradvocate.com) and the UFO Hefeweizen(rated a B- on Beeradvocate.com). So whenever you're at your favorite local New Orleans drinking establishment remember to ask for a Harpoon!!!
Last night (November 7th) I got a visit at the store from Chris Derr the Harpoon Brewery Area Sales Manager for the Texas/Lousiana markets and he was so excited about getting his beers into Louisiana. Getting these beers into the market is the start to a good Beerevolution in Louisiana which is what we need. We have the drinkers now we just need the beer!! VIVA LA BEEREVOLTION!!
Cheers!

Thank you BeerBuddha,
We are very excited for Harpoon to be in Louisiana. As of now we will only have two brands (our flagship brand, IPA and our UFO). Eventually we will have our whole portfolio in Louisiana.
Our overall character of our IPA is floral, medium bodied with an aggressive clean hop finish. The lingering bitter finish of this beer is not harsh or astringent, but crisp and pronounced. The use of fresh hops is extremely important.
Our UFO Hefeweizen is an American style unfiltered wheat beer which is deceptively light, thirst quenching and refreshing. The clean abundant aroma is instead a combination of citrus and wheat instead of a clove or banana like.
If you would like more information please visit our website at www.harpoonbrewery.com.
