The brewer, which has roughly 240 full- and part-time workers, plans to hire more than half of Long Trail’s 60-person staff, Kenary said. Bay Brewing, though, will operate the pub and beer gardens at both of the former Long Trail locations. As part of the deal, WhistlePig agreed to buy Long Trail’s Middlebury facility, and it will soon do its bottling and distilling there. Kenary said he didn’t want to acquire both Long Trail breweries in Vermont, one in Bridgewater Corners and the other in Middlebury, but he knew someone who did: the CEO of WhistlePig Whiskey, based in Shoreham. Kenary said Harpoon will soon brew Long Trail, Otter Creek, and Shed brews from this location. Whether you have a home draft setup (lucky) or just some room on the mantle, this authentic wooden Harpoon IPA tap handle is the exact model youll find in use at your local pub. It began 22 years ago when the company purchased the Catamount Brewery in Windsor, which is now a Harpoon Brewery that features a pub and beer garden. Though based in Boston, Harpoon has a long history in Vermont.

“They would compete in our backyard, and we would work to compete in theirs,” Fulham said. That overlap has of course led to some friendly competition over the years, though Fulham said he and Kenary always “respected each other.” “The Fulhams had been in the investment for a long time, and they were kind of ready to move on,” he said, adding that Harpoon had the brewing capacity to absorb Long Trail - and the companies’ retail footprints overlapped. In exploring different contract agreements with Harpoon, Kenary said it became clear to both brewers that an acquisition made the most sense. “As a heritage brand, which is what Long Trail and Harpoon are, we were looking at, ‘How do we operate differently when people are drinking hard seltzer, wine, spirits, and non-alcohol.’” “The craft beer run-up has been a great run, but the craft beer trends have been down,” said Fulham, whose family fund purchased Long Trail in 2005 after exiting the Seaport seafood business. Life had given us lemons, so we rolled up our sleeves, sliced them up, and garnished our first beer with them-a cloudy hefeweizen called UFO.Long Trail was planning to consolidate from two breweries to one and Fulham asked whether Harpoon could produce a few of its beers - which have been brewed in Vermont since the company’s founding in 1989, long before the recent explosion of craft brewing. We couldn’t get enough of the stuff, but the style had yet to make its way to our home in the Northeast. On a fateful voyage to the opposite coast, we discovered that breweries of the Pacific Northwest were serving up delicious pints of cloudy wheat beer, a new concept for American craft brewing.

The X-Files movie was coming out (Lost in Space too, but we don’t really like to talk about that). NASA was sending John Glenn back into space. The year was 1998, and we were feeling aspirational. We launched UFO Beer Company to challenge what craft beer could look and taste like. In 2014, Harpoon became an employee-owned company. Harpoon’s line of craft beer features its award-winning IPA and seasonal beers, along with special limited releases. When the Brewery was founded, Harpoon was issued Brewing Permit #001 by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, since it was the first to brew commercially in Boston after a dormant period of about 25 years. The Harpoon Brewery was founded in 1986 by beer lovers who wanted more and better beer options.
