Harpoon Dunkin’ Coffee Porter Named Brewbound 2018 ‘Collaboration of the Year’

From Harpoon:

BOSTON AND CANTON, MA (November 27, 2018) – Harpoon Brewery and Dunkin’ are
thrilled to announce that the Harpoon Dunkin’ Coffee Porter was named “Collaboration of the Year” at the
2018 Brewbound Awards. The Awards recipients “each demonstrated a unique ability to continue finding
success in an increasingly more competitive beer category,” Brewbound editor Chris Furnari said. “This
year’s winners exemplify creativity in business, philanthropy, partnership, and product innovation.” The
Collaboration of the Year Award, Furnari said, “is given to two companies who create a co-branded product
that stands out in a sea of partner brews.”

Harpoon Brewer Mike Kelly – brewer of the Harpoon Dunkin Coffee Porter – was on stage to accept the
award at the annual Brewbound Live event in Santa Monica, California.

The announcement comes just weeks after the collaboration launched in markets across the eastern United
States. Combining the taste of Dunkin’s Espresso Blend Coffee with Harpoon’s famous craft beer, the
Harpoon Dunkin’ Coffee Porter is a balanced and smooth brew offering robust and roasty notes.

“We truly had no idea what to expect when we first started talking about brewing a beer with the Dunkin
team. We knew we would have a lot of fun, but the reception to the release has been overwhelming,” said
Dan Kenary, CEO and Co-Founder of Harpoon Brewery. “The positive outpouring of support from Harpoon
and Dunkin fans around the world was a reward in and of itself. Toasting the Red Sox World Series win with
a Harpoon Dunkin’ Coffee Porter was a blast, and this award is truly the icing on the donut, so to speak.”

“Harpoon Dunkin’ Coffee Porter was brewed for our passionate fans, who start their day with Dunkin’s
signature coffee and end their day with Harpoon’s famous craft beer,” said Tony Weisman, Dunkin’ U.S.
Chief Marketing Officer. “We are proud that our two great brands could partner to delight so many coffee
lovers and beer enthusiasts alike, and honored that our collaboration has earned this wonderful recognition
from Brewbound.”

Harpoon Dunkin’ Coffee Porter will be available throughout the holidays, in both 12 oz. bottles and draft at
select retail locations across the Eastern U.S. At 6 percent ABV, Dunkin’ Coffee Porter is a malty tasting
brew that has a smooth mouthfeel with aromas of espresso and dark chocolate. The new brew pairs
perfectly with seasonal favorites like hearty stews, seasonal desserts, tailgating and, of course, Dunkin’s
signature donuts.
