Harpoon Winter Warmer Spiced Ale
Winter Warmer was Harpoon’s first seasonal beer. It was designed to be
enjoyed during the holiday season. When you bring a glass of this dark
copper ale to your lips to take your first sip you will notice the aroma of
cinnamon. There is no aromatic hop added that might overpower the distinct
spice scent. The medium body of this beer is formed from caramel and pale
malts. These create enough body to support the spices without making the
beer excessively rich. Bittering hops are added to counter the sweetness of
the malt and spice. The finish of the beer is a blend of cinnamon and
nutmeg. The combination of these two spices results in a balanced,
pumpkin-pie flavor.
The overall character is a smooth, medium bodied ale spiced with cinnamon and
nutmeg.

Harpoon Brewing Company
We started the Harpoon Brewery in
1986 because—like today—we loved beer and wanted more good choices. While
traveling in Europe after college, we drank many wonderfully diverse, fresh,
local beers. We also saw firsthand how important local breweries were to their
communities. After our travels, we asked each other, "why not bring great beer
and that sense of community to New England?" That was the genesis of the Harpoon
Brewery.
Twenty years later we still revel in making great beer and sharing that joy with
our friends and neighbors. The success that we have had running Harpoon is due
entirely to the wonderful employees who brew, package, warehouse, sell, deliver,
and market our beer and you, the people who drink Harpoon. We hope that our
sense of gratitude is reflected in both the quality of the beer and the spirit
of fun and enjoyment surrounding our beer and breweries.
