In 1986, Harpoon co- founders Rich Doyle and Dan Kenary began brewing Harpoon in Boston to share with others the joy of making—and drinking—great beer. In 2000, we added a second brewery in Windsor, VT to keep up with the demand. We are passionate about our company and our beer, and we work each day together to create great beer drinking experiences. This passion has resulted in many changes throughout the years including our most recent announcement in August of 2014 to become an employee owned company. Though many things have changed since the early days of Harpoon, most things have stayed the same. We still love brewing beer and find that we enjoy it more when shared with friends.
Harpoon has over 300 employees who understand that making great beer fun can be more challenging – and more rewarding - than it seems. We do things a bit differently here; different from other companies in general and different from most of our fellow brewers. Different in this case does not mean more complex or harder to understand. Because we also believe in being simple and straightforward. We have a very short list of ‘philosophies’ that underline how we run our business:
• Treat others as we would like to be treated ourselves.
• Work like an owner and think like a customer.
• Make great beer and revel in it or as we say to the rest of the world: Love Beer. Love Life.
We love the beer we brew, and we love drinking it together. We’re looking for people who share a commitment to excellence and a sense of humor to join our growing team.
Cisco Brewers Inc. is a craft beer company established in 1995 on the beautiful island of Nantucket. We strive to perfect the essence of craft beer and have fun doing it! Our Nantucket location is a hallmark getaway; live music, libations, food trucks, and families fill our beer garden 365 days a year. Cisco Brewers Nantucket is also the location of Triple Eight Distillery and Nantucket Vineyard.
Since its humble beginnings on island, Cisco has expanded to a brewing facility and brewpub in Portsmouth, NH, a seasonal beer garden in Boston's Seaport District, an oceanside kitchen and beer garden in New Bedford, MA, and many Cisco locations to come!
Our employees fully embody the Cisco lifestyle of inclusivity, environmental awareness, sociability, and responsibility. Cisco Brewers fosters an environment and strives for employees who take beer and the company seriously but not themselves. Cheers!
The desire to build a brewery was about more than just making beer, it was about creating a way of life and building a community with which to share experiences.
Trillium Brewing was founded in March of 2013 by JC and Esther Tetreault with the desire to create a New England Farmhouse-inspired experience through the lens of craft beer. Launched with three employees and the support of family, friends, and community, our little brewery located at 369 Congress Street in Boston’s then-sleepy Fort Point neighborhood has grown to a team of nearly 300. Every member of our organization has incredible drive and purpose, working passionately each day to elevate the quality of the Trillium experience.
Beer is at the center of everything we do, and a few core values have always driven the approach to our portfolio: the desire to continue pushing boundaries of experimentation with education, keeping a focus on hospitality by attempting to offer a wide range of styles for a diverse audience, and keeping our team excited and always-learning. With hundreds of unique offerings available each year, we take pride in the diversity and breadth of beer that we produce.
Our philosophy with food aims to enforce our New England roots. Working closely with more than 30 local vendors, the restaurant at Trillium Fort Point shines the spotlight on nearby agricultural systems with the ultimate goal of responsibly growing fresh fruit and produce at our Connecticut farm.
Behind every beer poured and each plate served is an intense focus on community. From carbon dioxide recapture and reuse at our production brewery, to using local, sustainably-farmed ingredients for our menu whenever possible, it’s imperative that we minimize our footprint and do our part to ensure that the future is brighter because of it.
