August 15, 2016•Boston’s Harpoon Brewery is rolling out its first new fall seasonal since 1989, Flannel Friday Hoppy Amber Ale.

Flannel Friday is available in six- and 12-packs of bottles, 12-packs of cans and on draft.

Weedwacker is available in six-packs of 12-ounce cans, while Endeavour Double IPA is debuting in four-packs of 12-ounce cans throughout Texas, Louisiana and Florida. The year-round canned beers will remain on draft and replace the 12-ounce bottle format, but Endeavour will still be sold in 22-ounce bottles. Saint Arnold is also releasing cans of its Oktoberfest seasonal, replacing its Summer Pils.
