Harpoon Brewery Launches Limited-Edition Harvest Lager with L.L. Bean
You know what would pair well with a delicious lobster roll? A refreshing lager. Fortunately, Harpoon Brewery and L.L. Bean have joined forces and created Harvest Lager, a new limited-edition beer.
As previously reported, Harvest Lager features a 5% ABV and is brewed with locally sourced Maine-grown malt. It’s available in 16-ounce four-packs and on draft at select places in New England. Additionally, 12-ounce cans of Harvest Lager are included in Harpoon’s Fall Mix 12-pack, which also contains Harpoon IPA, Octoberfest, and Flannel Friday, Harpoon’s signature fall seasonal beer. The new beer will also be available at Harpoon Brewery’s Octoberfest celebration taking place on Oct. 4 and 5.
In a statement, CEO and Co-Founder of Mass. Bay Brewing Company Dan Kenary said, “As a company that prides itself on creating high-quality products focused on craftsmanship, it felt natural to team up with a brand that shared that core value — and is equally as iconic to our New England fan base. Especially as we head into fall, one of the most quintessential seasons for both brands, it was our mission from the start to create a beer that could be enjoyed by everyone outdoors — whether you’re a weekend warrior, urban explorer, or simply looking for a delicious new lager to try out with friends.”
L.L.Bean Chief Marketing Officer Nick Wilkoff added, “At L.L.Bean, we’re passionate about celebrating the spirit of New England and the joy of the outdoors, and our partnership with Harpoon Brewery captures that perfectly. From our limited-edition Harvest Lager to the fall pop-up events, we’re excited to offer new ways for people to enjoy the season with friends and family, continuing our tradition of bringing people together outside for more than 100 years.”
The collaboration between Harpoon and L.L.Bean doesn’t stop with the lager. The two companies have launched a sweepstakes where one grand prize winner can win a trip for two to go to the L.L.Bean Outdoor Discovery Center in Maine in Summer 2025. The prize package includes guided experiences, including kayaking, paddleboarding and more. Full details can be found at HarpoonFallSweeps.com.
On top of that, L.L. Bean is bringing its Bootmobile to Harpoon’s Beer Hall in Boston on Oct. 4 and 5 and to the Harpoon’s Tap Room in Windsor, VT on Oct. 12 and 13. A selection of fall apparel will be available for purchase. Onsite personalization will also be available for customers.
Harvest Lager is out now and available wherever Harpoon is sold. To find the beer near you, head over to HarpoonBrewery.com/Beer-Finder.
