When grain is transported in bulk onboard a ship, and important consideration is the "Slip Angle" of the grain. The Slip Angle of grain is around 20°, which means that if the ship rolls more than 20° the grain will shift which will cause the ship to develop a large list to one side.Any additional rolling will cause the grain to shift even further which could cause the vessel to capsize. Our Slip Angle IPA is a New England Style IPA which definitely "lists" heavily to the hoppy side. Purposefully hazy and juicy, this beer is definitely unbalanced and we hope you enjoy the dry hopped flavor. Read Less

The Growler Kölsch is a twist on the classic Kölsch from Cologne, having a crisp malty flavor and subtle refreshing notes of German hops. But don't let it's light color fool you - the flavor runs deep and is more complex than meets the eye. As a lagered ale, this beer maintains the flavor of an ale, but also has a clean refreshing lager finish. The best of both worlds! Read Less

Extremely dark in color but surprisingly light on the palette, our stout is remarkably complex. With hints of chocolate and caramel, robust flavors of roasted malt come through to round this brew out. It is everything a stout should be: calming, cooling, and vastly flavorful. Read Less

Plimsoll is our flagship IPA. Foreign and domestic malts build the backbone of this copper colored elixir while copious additions of three hop varieties leave it with clean crisp citrusy aroma. Tried-and-true, it's the perfect beer to end the day.

Plimsoll: Mark on a merchant ship's side indicating by international agreement how deeply in the water she may be loaded under various expected sea conditions, depending on season and geographical area. Created by Samuel Plimsoll, who was a former member of the British Parliament (and just so happened to work at a brewery for a time!) in the late 1800s, the Plimsoll line saved countless lives by ensuring that corrupt ship owners did not overload their often heavily insured vessels.

When steel is annealed, it is heated up and cooled slowly to make for a more malleable metal. Similarly, this variant of our famous stout has been heated up with a higher ABV and then slowly cold-infused with locally-roasted, ethically sourced coffee beans from Winchester, VA’s own Hopscotch Coffee. Careful selection of ingredients, including the addition of Midnight Wheat, allows for a thick, frothy head and deep, dark color. Read Less

In marlinspike seamanship (nautical ropework), a splice is a method of joining together rope parts to make a union more permanent than a knot. Similar is our adjoining with our good friends at The Reluctant Trading Experiment, purveyors of the high-grade imported Icelandic Flaky Sea Salt and Coriander used in this salty, sour and aromatic brew. Our Gose has an unlikely union of parts combining to form something heavenly and unique. This is not a run of the mill beer; let’s be honest, it’s somewhat wacky and we made it reluctantly. But you’ll be glad we did! Read Less

Double Hull, as the name suggests, is a design method where ships are constructed with a double layer of watertight hull surface.  This construction helps reduce the risks of marine pollution in the event of a collision, going aground or other damage to the ship’s outer hull.  Our Double Hull IPA is constructed with four varieties of West Coast hops, just the right amount of bitterness, and a tanker full of flavor!  This classic double IPA is going to weather the stormiest of seas and leave you unscathed and very satisfied.

The story of the Irish ship MV Kerlogue, is as interesting as it was tragic, and as heroic as it was ironic.  Like Ireland as a whole, this humble merchant ship maintained neutrality during WWII, yet faithfully aided in heroic rescues-at-sea for both German and Allied forces, while also sustaining attacks from both sides.  Brewed with care and commitment, there’s no need to pick sides, just enjoy the steadfast flavor of the traditional Red Ale that bears her name.  Sláinte!

Light, refreshing and crisp - our take on the traditional Berliner Weisse is soured naturally and lightly hopped to balance the flavor. Enjoy by itself or sweeten by adding Waldmeister Sirup {Woodruff syrup} or Himbeer Sirup {Raspberry syrup}. Traditionally a balance of tart and sweet, it was created to make the unbearable Berlin summer bearable. Read Less

A secchi disk is a round, alternating black and white disk that is lowered into the water until it can no longer be seen. This depth of disappearance is called the secchi depth and it's a measure of the transparency of the water. Our lovely, hazy Secchi Disk Saison is golden in color with a delightful milky white head. Notes of mineral water, tropical fruits and spices give way to a clean, dry finish. Read Less

"Cheerly", in nautical parlance, is defined as "to complete a task heartily or cheerfully." We have cheerly created this traditional Belgian style Kriek ale. This sour lambic wheat beer was aged in oak sherry barrels for nearly a year, then freshly harvested sour cheeries were added for several months. Enjoy this mouth puckering and refreshing Kriek and it will have you cheerly hoisting you glass with friends! Read Less

Brut IPA has its roots in California as a response to the growing popularity of New England style IPAs. This beer is an exceedingly pale, dry and hop-focused IPA. For our take we used Rahr Premium Pilsner malt, experimental hop #60679 from Hop Steiner, German Hallertau Mittelfruh hops and a hearty high gravity brewer’s yeast. With a very low finishing gravity this beer is dry on the palate with a cornucopia of hop flavors and aromas ranging from tropical fruits to tangerine, with a nice light spicy note from the noble hop.
