This is a great spot to take a tour, sample some beer, and check out great gear.
The Harpoon Brewery is a working brewery with a small visitors center. They have daily tours and tastings where they describe the beer-brewing process and the different types of beer made by Harpoon. Samples are available during the tour. You can also step out onto a catwalk over the brewery to see the big vats and kettles.
You can buy fresh beer on tap to drink there or take home. There are also lots of neat Harpoon items to purchase such as t-shirts, bumper stickers and pint glasses. You can also get special limited-batch beers when they're available.
The tour would be better if you could actually go out into the brewery instead of just on the catwalk, but you can understand why not since it is a working brewery.
