Heavy Seas Bottles 2013 Yule Tide

Heavy Seas (Baltimore, MD) is busy today bottling 2013 Yule Tide. The beer was a Belgian-style tripel in the past before taking a year off.  (I hear it has relatives in Spain.)

In a Beer Street Journal interview with Hugh Sisson earlier this year, he mentioned that Yule Tide will return in the Uncharted Waters Series this year,  with the style changing annually.

This year’s edition is an imperial red ale, brewed with ginger, and aged in Jamaican rum barrels. What’s not to love about this?

Look for this final Uncharted Waters release of this year to hit shelves mid-month.

Style: Imperial Red Ale (w/ Ginger, Barrel Aged. Rum)
Availability: 22oz bombers, Draft
Arrival: November, 2013

9% ABV

Heavy Seas Yule Tide Features Ginger & Rum Barrels

Heavy Seas (Baltimore, MD) Yule Tide was a Belgian-style tripel in the past.  It actually took at least one season off. In a Beer Street Journal interview with Hugh Sisson earlier this year, he mentioned that Yule Tide will return in the Uncharted Waters Series, changing each year.

The wait is over to wonder what 2013’s edition will be. As a reward to you awesome drinkers of Heavy Seas will come an imperial red ale, brewed with ginger, and aged in Jamaican rum barrels. Should be a great way to round out the year.

Style: Imperial Red Ale (w/ Ginger, Barrel Aged. Rum)
Availability: 22oz bombers, Draft
Arrival: November, 2013

9% ABV

Heavy Seas Bourbon Pumpkin Offering Arrives

Today I saw Halloween merchandise being put out at Target. Then I saw Heavy Seas GreatER Pumpkin bottles on the shelf. Fall is coming together nicely.

Heavy Seas takes an imperial pumpkin ale and ages it in bourbon barrels for months prior to release. Flavor from Heavy Seas – Heady aromas of bourbon, cinnamon, ginger, allspice and clove linger seductively over the thick white head of this tremendous brew, with oak, vanilla, and bourbon.

Style: Pumpkin Ale (Barrel Aged. Bourbon)
Availability: 22oz bombers, Draft. Sept-Oct Release

10% ABV

Heavy Seas Red Sky at NIght

Heavy Seas’s (Baltimore, MD) summer saison Red Sky at Night has returned, after being a bit hard to find for a while. The brewery has had some capacity issues thanks to some growing pains. Red Sky at Night uses Westmalle’s signature yeast, dating back to 1836. Throw in white wheat to soften the flavor and Belgian candi sugar, and you have a perfect hot weather drinker. Expect flavors of banana, clove, apricot, and allspice.

Availability: 12oz bottles, Draft. July – September

7.5% ABV
