Description
"It all started in 1980… Hugh Sisson, a Maryland native, theater grad school major, and all-around good guy, joins his family’s restaurant & bar, “Sisson’s” located on Cross Street in South Baltimore.
Craft beer wasn’t even on the radar back then. But, Hugh quickly recognized that to run a business, you need to do something to be different.
Light bulb moment: “What if we turned Sisson’s into a brewpub and brewed our own beer?”
Solid plan, right? Problem: Brewpubs weren’t legal in Maryland at the time.
In 1987, Hugh worked with Maryland legislators to draft a bill to legalize brewpubs in Baltimore City – the bill passed on first attempt. Fast forward to 1989, “Sisson’s” becomes the first brewpub in the state of Maryland.
After the brewpub scene for a few years, Hugh felt the need for a bigger stage (theater-pun intended.) In 1994, he left “Sisson’s” for his next business venture… and the rest, friends, is nothing short of Maryland craft beer history"

12oz bottle thanks to Acknud for this one. Pours out a clear brown topped with almost no head. A nice aroma of sweet pit fruit and light hop. Tast of light malt more of that pit fruit and a touch of hops. Not to bad.

Bottled. A slightly hazy dark golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet mlaty with quite strong notes of hops swell as notes of grass and caramel. The flavor is sweet malty and very hoppy combined with notes of caramel, leading to a dry bitter finish.
