BALTIMORE, MD — Heavy Seas Beer is pleased to introduce the second 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, a Schwarzbier at 5.2% ABV, will be available in April.
Brewing Team Leader Chris Schultz, Brewmaster Chris Leonard, and Beer Awesomeness Controller Dave Sauer brewed the second offering. According to Leonard, “Our second Desert Island Series beer is a style chosen by the entire staff at Heavy Seas. Largely misunderstood, it is a style of beer that is a mystery wrapped in an enigma – much like many of our insane pirates. Dark yet smooth, daunting yet approachable, satisfying yet refreshing, it is truly a beer for all seasons. Does it fully represent the personality of our soul-searching charges? Perhaps not. However, it will definitely sate their nearly unquenchable thirst for deliciousness.”
