BEWARE OF COPS –
Aug. 10, 2023 – According to VinePair, the malt-based drinks are to be produced in collaboration with Harpoon Brewery. The two Boston-area brands originally paired up in 2018 to release seasonal beers every year. In 2020, their annual autumnal four-pack featured two brews — Harpoon Dunkin’ Boston Kreme and Harpoon Dunkin’ Jelly Donut — that were infused withactual Dunkin’ donuts during the brewing process.
Last year’s Harpoon Dunkin’ Box O’ Beer included a new-recipe version of the popular Pumpkin Spiced Latte, along with Cold Brew Coffee Porter, Hazelnut Blonde Stout, and Coffee Roll Cream Ale. The latter three were all made with Dunkin’ coffee, which perhaps gave someone in the greater Boston area the idea for these upcoming Dunkin’ Spiked drinks.
When reached for comment, a Dunkin’ spokesperson was tight-lipped about the possible launch of the new brews. “Dunkin’ is brewing up something special (and spiked) for adult iced coffee and iced tea lovers,” the rep told Food & Wine. “While we can’t confirm any new additions to Dunkin’s lineup of ready-to-drink products at this time, stay tuned for more news soon!”
