HARPOON 1OO BARREL SERIES RICH & DAN’S RYE IPA

In celebration of Harpoon’s 25th anniversary, founders Rich Doyle and Dan Kenary have brewed the 37th installment of the 1OO Barrel Series: Rich & Dan’s Rye IPA.  The IPA was brewed using Harpoon’s proprietary yeast, the same strain that has been used at the brewery since the first batch of Harpoon Ale was brewed in 1987.  The combination of Pale, Maris Otter, Rye, Caramel 6O, Flaked Rye, and Vienna yields a complex malt body that stands up to the spiciness of the rye and the pronounced hop flavor.  The rye also adds a reddish hue to the beer.  The kettle additions of Centennial, Willamette and Chinook, and the dry hop addition of Falconer’s Flight add a multidimensional hop character.  This beer has a fruity, subtly spicy aroma, full mouthfeel, and dry finish.  Available in 22-ounce bottles and limited draft from Harpoon Distributing, Horizon Beverage Company, Atlas Distributing, Merrimack Valley Distributing, and Williams Distributing Corp.
