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"

12 oz bottle from Beer of the Month Club. Clear golden-orange, white head, plenty of drippy lacework. Bright, zesty citrus and grass mostly, with some earth and spice notes. Lively, crisp feel. Fairly dry. Pretty good. Pleasantly surprised by both of these Heavy Seas beers. Haven't purchased much from them in recent years and the quality seems to have improved.

Pours hazy golden with a thick white head. Aroma of coriander and citrus peels. Taste has lightly hopped notes with hints of lemongrass and bitter orange. Palate has more of the lemongrass with every so slight wheat beer notes. Fantastic beer.
