Heavy Seas Beer is a pioneer in Maryland’s craft brewing scene, known for its bold, hop-forward beers and adventurous spirit. From flagship favorites to limited seasonal releases, the brewery combines innovation and tradition with a distinctly Baltimore identity.
Founded in 1995 by Hugh Sisson, Heavy Seas began as Clipper City Brewing Company, becoming one of the earliest champions of craft beer in Maryland. In 2010, the company rebranded under the Heavy Seas name, reflecting its nautical, adventurous theme. Over the decades, the brewery has grown into a regional powerhouse, best known for the award-winning Loose Cannon IPA and an ever-expanding lineup of seasonal and barrel-aged offerings. In 2025, Heavy Seas celebrates its 30th anniversary, marking three decades of shaping Baltimore’s brewing culture.
Heavy Seas offers a lively, welcoming taproom and patio experience perfect for casual sips or group outings.
