This update from Heavy Seas:
BALTIMORE, MD — Heavy Seas Beer is excited to announce the Partner Ships
Series in 2016. This collaboration series will feature beers brewed with Maine Beer
Company, Troegs Independent Brewing, Terrapin Beer Company, and
Stone Brewing Company. Born on friendship, creativity, and a boundless sense
of adventure, the Partner Ships Series celebrates the spirit of American craft
beer today.
The first beer in the series, releasing in late February 2016, will be a
collaboration with Maine Beer Company from Freeport, Maine. This beer will
be a well-balanced Red IPA at 7.25% ABV, featuring American hops and citrus
and pine flavors. Waves of orange blossom, grapefruit, and lemon flavors set sail
atop a subtle toasted malt character. This collaborative brew offers an impressive
hop forward characteristic over a burnished malt backbone.
Heavy Seas Brewing Team Leader, Christopher Schultz, and Brewers,
Courtney Lacey and Megan Schwarz, will be joined by Maine Brewing Company
Co-Owner and Co-Founder, Dan Kleban, on Thursday, January 28th to brew the
beer at the Heavy Seas brewery.
