Hartford, CT - Calling all craft beer lovers: Plan b Restaurants is honored to announce that it will be brewing its own flagship beer in partnership with Harpoon Brewery. The proprietary beer will only be available on draught at Plan b Restaurants’ nine locations (launching late January). “Harpoon has been a staple in our restaurants since we opened more than a decade ago and we are thrilled to partner with them to bring a unique new beer to our guests,” says VP of Operations / Executive Chef Kevin Watson.
In collaboration with their awesome fans, Plan b Restaurants is accepting naming suggestions between December 1 – 7 on Plan b Restaurants’ website, in the restaurants or on its main Facebook page.

About Harpoon Brewery:
The Harpoon Brewery was founded by beer lovers Dan Kenary, Rich Doyle, and George Ligeti. In 1986 Harpoon was issued Brewing Permit #001 by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, since it was the first brewery to brew commercially in Boston after a dormant period of about 25 years. In 2000 Harpoon purchased a second brewery in Windsor, VT, making Harpoon the 12th largest craft brewer in the US. Harpoon has since introduced the limited batch 100 Barrel Series and the as well as the all-natural Harpoon Craft Cider made from freshly pressed apples. In August 2014 Harpoon became an employee- owned company. For more information about Harpoon beers and visiting the breweries, visit www.harpoonbrewery.com.
