To open the combination lock, come up with the four letter word for what is consumed with pretzels during Oktoberfest.
It all started with three college buddies and a shared love of beer. Dan Kenary, Rich Doyle, and George Ligeti were passionate about beer, but they weren’t able find what they were looking for on tap at their local pubs. While traveling in Europe after college, they drank many diverse, fresh, local beers and experienced firsthand the wonderful beer culture that existed just across the pond. They wanted to bring that to Boston, so they decided to do just that.
In 1986 they started the first modern day brewery licensed to manufacture and sell alcohol in Massachusetts and they received Brewing Permit #001 from the Commonwealth.
In 1992, the brewery introduced New England to India Pale Ales, now ubiquitously referred to as IPAs. The brewery has become known in Boston for annual festivals including Octoberfest (15,000 attendees) and St. Patrick's Day.
The employee-owned Harpoon Brewery gave permission to place this geocache on their property and invites geocachers to come find the special geocaching keg that represents Massachusetts for Cache Odyssey!
Please note that while this cache is a terrain 1.0 and has the "available in winter" attribute, should a snow plow clear the parking lot, both of those may temporarily change.
