The story of Harpoon\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Steve Stewart&#8217;s Firth of Forth Ale began at Harpoon a decade ago.<\/p>\n<p>Back in 1998 a young Scottish brewer named Steve Stewart crossed the big pond and came to Harpoon in Boston as part of a brewery intern exchange program. Steve apprenticed at Harpoon for a couple months then took his new-found appreciation of American craft beer back to his full-time brewing job at a large Irish brewery. After some time, Steve decided to return to his birthplace &#8211; Scotland &#8211; and open his own microbrewery.<\/p>\n<p>Steve Stewart\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Firth of Forth Ale is a dark Scottish ale that combines the best of the Scottish traditional malts with American grown hops. The result is a beer with a malty, roasted character that has caramel notes and a hint of chocolate without being too sweet.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers,<\/p>\n<p>Your Friends at Harpoon<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"350\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bostonnow.com\/files\/imagecache\/landscape\/files\/images\/leaders\/0212ENT_harpoon%20photo.jpg\" height=\"300\" \/><br \/>\n<a onclick=\"javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('\/outgoing\/www.bostonnow.com\/entertainment\/dining\/2008\/02\/12\/friendship-and-good-beer');\"  href=\"http:\/\/www.bostonnow.com\/entertainment\/dining\/2008\/02\/12\/friendship-and-good-beer\">Link to a release article.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last evening,Ian and I reviewed the latest 100 barrel series beer from Harpoon.
