Heavy Seas Desert Island Series No 3 – American Honey Amber Ale Coming In June

BALTIMORE, MD — Heavy Seas Beer is pleased to introduce the third beer in its draft-

only program, the Desert Island Series. This program features “one-off” releases of

beers designed by individual members of the Heavy Seas brewing team. Each beer in

the series will be limited to only 100 barrels available at select locations within Heavy

Seas’ 18 state distribution footprint. This limited release, an American Honey Amber Ale

at 4.9% ABV, will be available in June.

The third offering was conceived and executed by our "greenest" brewing

tandem, Brett Cracco and Courtney Lacey. According to Brewmaster, Christopher

Leonard, “Ambitious, exuberant, expressive, brash, and somewhat capricious, this

American-style Amber Ale is crisp, bold, and dry with plenty of American hops.  It is

loaded with flavor but is quaffable enough to enjoy in warmer months – or on a desert

island.  Brewed with some (relatively) local Virginia barley and a touch of Bamboo

honey, this energetic tipple will spice up your June.”
