Every year, Harpoon hosts a European “beer culture” trip for employees. This year’s trip, a week of visiting breweries throughout Poland, inspired brewer Scott Shirley to brew this old style ale. Traditional Polish malts and hops create the full body and rich amber color of this beloved Polish style. Na zdrowie!

Spicy and herbal Marynka hops and  two row and caramel malt from the city of Gdansk create a balanced, amber ale. Originally brewed to celebrate the 1200^th anniversary of the home of one of our favorite breweries from the Polish Beer Trip, this style commemorates both Polish brewing history and Harpoon tradition.
