We brought you the first peek at this beer, so I’m excited to bring you the official release details from Heavy Seas and Troegs:
BALTIMORE, MD --- Heavy Seas Beer is excited to announce the second
release in its 2016 Partner Ships series of collaboration beers – a Hoppelbock
lager brewed with Troegs Independent Brewing. This series will feature beers
produced in collaboration with other regionally and nationally recognized brewers
in the spirit of friendship, creativity, and adventure. For 2016, Heavy Seas is
partnering with Maine Beer, Troegs Independent Brewing, Terrapin Beer, and
Stone Brewing Company. The Partner Ships series is brewed at Heavy Seas in
Baltimore and celebrates the pioneering spirit of American craft beer today.
The Troegs collaboration beer, releasing in May 2016, will be a
Hoppelbock, an 8% ABV hoppy, strong amber lager, brewed with all German
hops and a large percentage of locally sourced malt from Deer Creek Malthouse
in Pennsylvania. “This is a very cool project!,” says Heavy Seas Brewmaster,
Christopher Leonard. “We get to host some of our most respected peers, use
some locally sourced ingredients, and make a batch of unique, interesting beer
with input from both organizations. Our entire brewing team has been having a
blast with it!”
The product specs are:
Style: Hoppelbock
ABV: 8%
IBU: 50

“We began this project not realizing how much we would enjoy it,” says
Heavy Seas Founder, Hugh Sisson. “Now that we are on the second release, I
think our whole organization is excited and looks forward to the next project in
the series.”
