Not in Maryland? No Heavy Seas 15th Anniversary Ale
Heavy Seas Brewing is celebrating their 15th year of brewing. To mark the occasion, Heavy Seas is releasing a special beer dubbed “Thank you, Thank you very much. It’s an imperial IPA. It’s a gotten a few people excited for it.
As much as I hate to say it, this beer will only appear in bombers and draft in Heavy Seas home state of Maryland only. It’s mean to thank the local folks who helped make Heavy Seas what they are today. I fully understand that! Time to start calling friends up north if you want to try this beer!
Heavy Seas has done some great things this year. The mutiny fleet as been impressive, they’re marzen has won it’s 5th consecutive medal in5 years at GABF. Winter Storm is the late fall/early winter beer that is part of the 12oz Pyrate Fleet.
Commercial Description: Our winter ale brewed with copious helpings of English malts and both U.S. and English hops making it a ruddy hued Imperial ESB in style. Full malty flavors dancing with powerful hop aromas and a lingering yet firm hop bitterness.

Taste Expectations: Subtle touch of raisins, dark fruits, & caramel. Hops are grassy, and herbal.
Tapping Friday, 6pm at The Fred Bar is Heavy Seas “Great Pumpkin”!

Leave it to Hugh Sisson and his talented and creative team of brewers to keep pushing forward. The Mutiny Fleet bomber series is very popular, and the newest release is sure to follow suit. The Great’er Pumpkin pushes the already popular Great Pumpkin release to a bigger and bolder level by aging the beer in bourbon barrels. A pumpkin beer in bourbon! I got to taste it last year at Brick Store Pub with Hugh Sisson and I was nothing short of impressed.
Commerical Description:
The Mutiny Fleet was “berthed” by Heavy Seas brewers who were discovered secretlybrewing small batches of big beers to amuse the palates of their fellow crew. Since most secrets are best kept bottled up, we’re bringing you these big flavor extrAARGHdinary brew in 22oz bombers. From the haunted wood emerges the Great’er Pumpkin of them all!
Taste Expectations: Vanilla! The bourbon barrel aging really shines through. Pumpkin and spice is subtle and intact. Pumpkin & bourbon go well together.
Availability: 22oz Bombers. Rare draft offerings. Fewer than 500 cases and less than 100 barrels produced. Fall Seasonal.
Returning for a second season in the mutiny fleet is Heavy Seas Great Pumpkin! All I need now is Charlie Brown.
Commercial Description:
The secret is in the 2.5 pounds of spice per barrel for this fall brew. We add the pumpkin during the mash at precisely the right time to create just the perfect balance of malt, hops, pumpkin and spice.
Taste Expectations: Lot’s of pumpkin flavor, followed by spices. Cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, allspice. Smells sweet, and has sweet notes in the brew. Slight alcohol in finish.

It’s that time of year for fall lagers to start heading our way. Pumpkin beers are shipping ,and now marzens. The first of a few of these fall styles returns for a second visit from Heavy Seas and that’s “Prosit!”
Prosit! is an imperial version of an oktoberfest lager style brew. It’s a member of Heavy Sea’s “Mutiny Fleet”, the small batch bomber series released throughout the year. Heavy Seas describes –
“Malt focused, made with five types of grain including Vienna and Munich malts — plus a secret extra malt that we use only in our Prosit! Consider this bomber to be the burly big brother to our Clipper City MarzHon, a three year in a row winner at the Great American Beer Festival. We’ve balanced the sweetness of the malt with three kinds of hops making this one of the boldest marzen style lagers you’ll ever try. 5 Kinds of Malt, 3 Kinds of Hops, estimated ABV 9% estimated IBU 25”
Malty indeed. This beer really gets you in a fall mood. If I only had lederhosen.
Style: Marzen/Oktoberfest
Taste Expectations: This is a malt forward for sure. Caramel, toffee with a some roast and bread malts. Maintains a lager body and mouthfeel so it’s not too heavy. Expect bolder lager beer if you haven’t strayed far from the macro lager path.
Availability: 22oz Bombers. Draft. 2nd Edition, early fall seasonal. Small batch, limited release.
Taco Mac Crabapple will be tapping a cask of Heavy Seas Hang Ten Weizenbock at Taco Mac Crabapple, August 6th @ 6 pm.
Beer Description:
Hang Ten is a German weizenbock. Weizenbocks typically have a complex malt character, while remaining on the high alcohol range. They are comparable to bocks (especially in strength.) A weizenbock is a stronger version of the unfiltered Weissbier or Hefeweizen.
Taste Expectations: Look for dark fruit flavors — (plum, cherry, Raisins even prunes) followed by a big malt profile — caramel, even some vanilla. Malt sweetness can make you think brown sugar.
Availability: 22oz Bombers, limited release. Small batch release — July 2010
Cellerable: Yes, for up to 2 years. Bottles are Vintage dated 2010.
10% ABV
