Heavy Seas Loose Cannon Hop 3 Ale

ABV: 7.2%

Clipper City Brewing Co.

Loose Cannon is called Hop 3 (hop cubed) Ale to reflect the enormous amount of hops in this beer: over 3 pounds per barrel! Also, the beer is hopped 3 ways - in the kettle, in the hop back and dry hopped.  This ale pairs well with a variety of foods including Thai cuisine, peppery or pungent cheese, poultry, shellfish and salmon.



Heavy Seas Peg Leg Imperial Stout

ABV: 8%

Clipper City Brewing Co.

Creamy and rich with color as black as night, Peg Leg has aromas of roasted coffee and dark chocolate, hints of molasses, toffee and caramel in the taste. A dry Imperial stout; rich, powerful and lingering.  This stout is a great match for sharp cheese like Blue and Cheddar or pungent cheese like Gorgonzola or Limburger.



Heavy Seas Small Craft Warning Uber Pils

ABV: 7.25%

Clipper City Brewing Co.

A pilsner-style bock lager. Rich, malty and well rounded with a firm structure of noble hops. Surprisingly pale in color for such a powerful, complex beer. Try it with Curried, Thai or Pan Asian cuisine.

Heavy Seas Winter Storm "Category 5" Ale

ABV: 7.5%

Clipper City Brewing Co.

This ale is an ESB on steroids with pure hop power but perfectly balanced with a rich malt character. Floral and aromatic, the hop character is enhanced by the technique of dry hopping, a traditional method of increasing aroma. Try Winter Storm with barbecue, pork or buttery cheeses; Brie, Gouda, Havarti or Swiss.



Heavy Seas Red Sky at NighT

ABV: 8%

Clipper City Brewing Co.

A saison ale, this beer is brewed in the Belgian saison style (country farm house ale). A potent, yet delicate ale, brewed with a unique Belgian yeast which develops a spicy, fruity flavor, making it a wonderful pairing with salad, fish or poultry. Enormously complex.



Heavy Seas Below Decks Barleywine

ABV: 11%

Clipper City Brewing Co.

Created to celebrate Clipper City’s 10th Anniversary – extremely limited and “vintage” dated – this extravagantly malty, barley wine pairs well with sharp and pungent cheeses and will show well upon release but continue to evolve for years.


Heavy Seas MÄrzen

ABV: 5.75%

Clipper City Brewing Co.

Amber in color with a rich, toasty malt flavor and slightly sweet finish, Märzen pairs well will sausage, pizza and pit beef.


Heavy Seas The Great Pumpkin

ABV: 8.5%

Clipper City Brewing Co.

(Part of the Heavy Seas Mutiny Series). This is an Imperial Pumpkin Ale. The secret is in the 2.5 pounds of spice per barrel for this fall brew. The pumpkin is added during the mash at precisely the right time to create just the perfect balance of malt, hops, pumpkin and spice.


Heavy Seas Siren Noir

ABV: 8%

Clipper City Brewing Co.

This English style Imperial stout is fermented and flavored with imported Belgian chocolate nibs. Smooth and easy drinking. Available in February.


Heavy Seas Black Cannon

ABV: 7.25%

Part of the Heavy Seas Pyrate Fleet, Black Cannon is a Black IPA. It is their very popular, Loose Cannon with added dark malt. Available in January.


Heavy Seas Dubbel Cannon

ABV: 7.3%

Clipper City Brewing Co.

Part of the Heavy Seas Pyrate Fleet, this Belgian Style IPA is a variation of Heavy Seas Loose Cannon IPA, fermented with a Belgian Dubbel yeast. Still hopped three times in the brewing process, the resulting hop nose shares the glory with the spiciness from the yeast.
