As Homer Simpson would put it..."Porkchops and bacon, my two favorite animals.” (ok I know don't know if there is going to be bacon here, but BBQ!!!!)
Join Harpoon this Sunday:
On Sunday, November 14th, Harpoon Brewery will host the 4th annual Harpoon Helps Grateful Harvest Beer-B-Q, a fundraiser for the Greater Boston Food Bank. Harpoon's charitable giving program, Harpoon Helps, and the New England Barbeque Society have joined forces to put together a Thanksgiving meal, barbeque-style, to raise money for the Greater Boston Food Bank's annual Food Fund, which supplies Thanksgiving meals for families in and around Boston.
The competitive barbeque masters will hitch up their huge smokers, park them in front of the brewery, and smoke more than 500 lbs of turkey along with all the trimmings. In addition to all-you-can-eat great food and pints of fresh beer, The Goodtime String Band will entertain guests with toe-tapping bluegrass and fiddle tunes.

4 PM to 6 PM: Buffet-style, sit-down dinner
