Revealed: The Heavy Seas Can Lineup

One of the biggest changes for Heavy Seas Beer (Baltimore, MD) this year is the addition of a canning line. Folks, your year just got boozier. Above is the official can lineup for this year. As you can see – Loose CANnon is first, followed my Davy Jone Lager, and Aarghtoberfest! late Summer/Fall.

Couple of things to note: Davy Jones Lager has been slightly reformulated to clock in around 6% ABV. A little easier to drink in the heat. All of the above ship in 12 packs. No retail price yet.

Cigar City White Oaked Jai Lai in a Can?

Inside this can will be an oak aged beer. Only a handful of those that I can think of. Cigar City’s final addition to their can line (for now) will be their White Oak Aged Jai Alai. Cigar City’s distribution has varied (on pretty much everything) so fingers crossed for summer drinking.

“The white oak adds smoothing notes of vanilla and slight hints of dill to the aroma and flavor profile. The finish is elegantly dry due to the light tannin notes from oak aging and though still loaded with hop flavor, hop bitterness is more restrained.”

Style: IPA (White Oak Aged)
Availability: 12oz Bottles, Draft, 12 oz Cans (Soon)
Arrival: TBA

7.5% ABV
