From the label

“They say you can't buy tartan paint - We decided to prove them wrong. Tartan Paint brings Harpoon and Stewart Brewing together for a collaboration decades in the making. Stewart founder Steve Stewart came to Boston from Scotland to learn the American craft beer trade, eventually working at Harpoon before taking what he learned back home to start his own brewery. Now, we're bringing the story full circle — one pint of Tartan Paint at a time.”
