Harpoon Octoberfest

Boston’s Harpoon brewery celebrates the beeriest holiday of them all — Octoberfest – with a three-day German-style party. That means live oompah music by the Oberlaendler Hofbrau Band, the Jolly Kopperschmidts and others, plus plenty of knockwurst and bratwurst, and, of course, lots and lots of beer. It all happens at the brewery itself, which was founded in 1986 and remains the largest in Massachusetts.
