Giving Back this November
November 1, 2022
Due to the pandemic, the number of people needing food aid in the United States has doubled. Feeding America shared that in 2021, 53 million people turned to food banks and community programs for help putting food on the table.
At Harpoon, we pride ourselves on giving back to our communities. Every November we celebrate something we call Friendsgiving. Friendsgiving embodies giving back to our local food banks and in doing so, being thankful for family and friends that help us all get through the tough times.
For the entire month of November, we are supporting The Greater Boston Food Bank (GBFB) at our Harpoon Beer Hall in Boston, MA, and the The Vermont Food Bank at our Harpoon Brewery and Taproom in Windsor, VT through the following ways:
Harpoon Beer Hall – Boston, MA
$1/pint of Harpoon IPA and $1/cinnamon sugar pretzel will be directly donated to the GBFB
Harpoon Brewery and Taproom – Windsor, VT
$1/pint of Harpoon IPA and a $1 for each of the following food items:
- Pumpkin Pie Pretzel – served with pie filling and local maple butter
- The Gobbler – wheatberry bread, house made cranberry mayo, Cabot cheddar, traditional stuffing and roast turkey
- Thanksgiving bowl – mashed potatoes, stuffing, sweet corn, VT Farmstead Alehouse Cheddar and turkey gravy
