Harpoon 100 Barrel Series: Old Rusty’s Red Rye Ale

Shortly after starting Harpoon back in 1986, co-founders Rich Doyle and Dan Kenary hired their first employee: brewer, Russ Heissner. Rich and Dan lured Russ to Boston from sunny California after he graduated from the acclaimed brewing program at UC Davis with the hope of brewing great craft beer. Little did Russ know he would start his brewing career using his bathtub for test batches in his Brighton, apartment. His ingenuity resulted in Harpoon Ale, the brewery's first beer. Russ has gone on to pursue other interests, but he has remained a great friend of Harpoon and a devoted connoisseur of craft beer.

For the 23rd installment of the 100 Barrel Series Beer, Russ was invited back to brew a Harpoon beer once again. Don't worry, not in a bathtub this time. Old Rusty's Red Rye Ale features a reddish hue and a biscuit flavor complemented with spicy rye notes. This well-balanced and incredibly drinkable ale has an aroma profile that is a combination of subtle fruit esters and clean, fresh German Hallertauer hops.
