Talk Like A Pirate Day & News from Clipper City

Friday, September 19

Beer Ye! Beer Ye! All aspiring pirates should be celebrating this international holiday in style by wearing pirate garb, having a few of our extrAARGHdinary Heavy Seas beers, and telling a few yarns in piratese at your favorite spot.

For those of you in the Baltimore area, we are having a special celebration right here at the brewery. $15 gets you in from 7 to 10 PM and includes beer, a souvenir pint glass, and music from Salty Dogs, a 3 piece pirate band.

There will be a food concession available as well. We will also be featuring a special cask version of this year’s Winter Storm – but to get this you will have to wear something Pirate! Limited to the first 200 to sign up. You can join us by clicking here!

Clipper City News
Available in next few weeks – Winter Storm – our World Beer Cup Gold Medal winner! This ruddy hued “winter warmer” is our best selling seasonal and NOT to be missed. Coming soon to a retailer near you – if you don’t see it, ask for it!

The Baltimore Orioles recognized Clipper City’s winning of a gold medal at the World Beer Cup by having Clipper City founder Hugh Sisson throw out the commemorative first pitch on July 2. It is a good thing Hugh makes beer better than he throws. See for yourself.
