Harpoon brewery and products were created by Dan Kenary and Rich Doyle with the plan in mind to make a more quality American beer. The two men teamed up with a brewer and opened their own brewery in Boston in 1986. This American White Ale UFO was introduced in 2009, and since has been Harpoon’s fastest growing beer style. Since 2009, brewers hand-grind the spices used in the UFO to keep the proper consistency in the beer.
