“We have one of the premier collections of American barleywine-style ales in the United States,” said Ian Halpern who manages the Harvest locations, “like any collector, we’re never satisfied. I’m a beer drinker in search of new, rare, unique, unknown or aged – we’re able to taste multiple vintages of beer produced by incredible brewers from our favorite breweries locally and around the world, it’s a genuine passion, albeit one approaching the level of obsession.”
