Heavy Seas Beer (Baltimore, Maryland) has announced the brewery’s plans, additions and changes scheduled for their 2017 release calendar.

We are once again going to allow the portfolio to speak for itself (available below), but we can quickly go over a few of the surprises Heavy Seas Beer has planned for us all in 2017:

• TropiCannon Citrus IPA has been added to the brewery’s Year Round line-up.
• Cutlass Vienna Lager and Gold Ale officially return as packaged, Year Round offerings.
• The Alpha Effect Hazy IPA debuts in March as a limited release, Seasonal offering.
• The Uncharted Series of barrel-aged brews gains the addition of an annual Anniversary Ale simply named “22” (style still to be determined).
• The Boatload IPA Sampler, available year-round, will be rockin’ a constantly evolving IPA dubbed Single Cannon – a single hop IPA that will see its hop variety “change several times during the year.”

“We’ve spent a lot of time and effort every year tweaking the product portfolio,” says Heavy Seas Founder, Hugh Sisson. “2017 will see the return of local favorites Gold Ale and Cutlass Lager, as well as a few new offerings to keep us on our toes. It’s a challenge, but this is part of the excitement of being in this industry today.”

There is still quite a bit of information to check out below, so I’ll let you get to that.  Enjoy, jot down a few notes if necessary, and properly prepare yourself for another jam-packed year from Heavy Seas in 2017.  Prost!
