Heavy Seas Winter Storm Imperial ESB Returns In Oct.

BALTIMORE, MD —  Heavy Seas Beer’s fall/winter seasonal is

about to make it’s triumphal return!  “It was our first

international gold medal winning beer,” said brewery founder,

Hugh Sisson.  “And I’m not supposed to say it, but I think it may

be my favorite beer!”

The Imperial ESB will be available from October to December

in all 18 states where Heavy Seas beer is distributed.

Winter Storm draws on hops from both the West Coast and the

UK for its elegant bitterness. A ruddy hued, richly flavored ale,

Winter Storm has subtle aromas of nutty malts, earthy hops,

and a trace of cocoa. This is a perfect beer for fall and winter, especially because

of its warming qualities.

“I also think it’s one of the best beer names ever,” said Sisson.  “Everytime

the winter weather gets iffy, every TV and radio station  in the country is

advertising the name of our beer for free!”
