Sommaire |
Clipper City Ales
Clipper City Pale AleApprox. 4.9% ABV
Pale, Crystal Malt
Fuggles and Golding Hops
As a counterpoint to the Gold, our Pale Ale is distinctly British in character with a firm malt character and a crisp, angular hop finish. Amber in color with a nice earthy aroma.
Approx. 4.9% ABV
Pale, Munich, Caramel Malt
Cascade Hops
A bronze medal winner at the Great American Beer Festival in 2000, this ale was the Official Beer of the Baltimore Bicentennial in 1997. Well rounded and complex, with a deep golden color, this is an American style ale with a distinct fruity pallet and floral, spicy hop aromas.
Oxford Wheat Beers
Oxford Rasberry4.5 % ABV
Pale and Wheat malts
Real raspberries
In Belgium, one of the world's greatest brewing regions, the tradition of blending fruit with beer has achieved cult status. We decided to create an American interpretation that we present as Oxford Raspberry. The beer is light and refreshing and finished with real raspberries giving it a fruity aroma, and quenching tartness.
"R" you expeRienced?
Made unfiltered and slightly cloudy, in the Bavarian style, with a special yeast yielding aromas of apple and spice. Wheat beers are enjoying growing popularity, and are especially good in the hot summer months, sometimes served with a wedge of lemon.
Heavy Seas
Peg Leg StoutABV: approx. 8.0%
Malts: English Pale, Crystal, Chocolate and Black Barley

A dry Imperial stout with rich black color and aromas of roasted coffee, molasses, dark chocolate, toffee and caramel. Rich, powerful, and lingering. Available year round.
ABV: approx. 7.5%
Pale, Crystal, Carapils and Munich malts
Magnum, Fuggles, Cascade, Centennial and Chinook Hops
This ale is pure hop power but perfectly balanced with a rich malt character. Floral and aromatic, the hop character is enhanced by the technique of dry hopping, a traditional method of increasing aroma. Available from mid-October to February.

Pils, Carapils, and wheat malts, Belgian candi sugar
Magnum and Styrian Goldings Hops
This beer is brewed in the Belgian Saison style (country farm house ale). A potent yet delicate ale, brewed with a unique Belgian yeast which develops a spicy, fruity flavor. Enormously complex. Available from May to around August.
ABV: approx. 7.5%
Malts: German Pils and Carapils
Hops: Amarillo, Saaz, Hersbrucker and Tettnang
We call this beer an Ãœber Pils - a pilsner style bock lager. Rich, malty, and well rounded but with a firm structure of noble hops. Surprisingly pale in color for such a powerful, complex beer. Available year round beginning Feb. 05
ABV: 7.5%
Malts: Crisp English Pale, Carapils, and Munich
Hops: Magnum, Centennial, Chinook, Amarillo and Palisade
Loose Cannon Hop3 Ale is a triple hopped IPA containing over 3 pounds of hops per barrel. Not for the faint of palate, it has an intensely floral, spicy, and citrusy hop aroma and flavor. Available year round in October 2005
ABV: 11.0%
Malts: Pale, Crystal and Carapils
Hops: Magnum, Fuggles, Goldings
Created to celebrate Clipper City’s 10th Anniversary – extremely limited and “vintage†dated – this extravagantly malty barley wine will show well upon release but continue to evolve for years. Seasonally available in December while supplies last.
Chesapeake Brands
Old Baltimore Style BeerAll malt - Approx. 4.5% ABV
Hersbrucker Hops
Prior to prohibition virtually all American beers were made from 100% malted barley. This gave the beers a richer, fuller taste than you see today when most beers are made using a high percentage of corn or rice. We researched old brewing archives, and patterned this beer after one that was produced in Baltimore in the early 1940's. We named it after one of the great symbols of our area, Fort McHenry, birthplace of our national anthem. Selected Baltimore's Best Local Beer - City Paper, Oct. 2001.
May The Fort Be With You!
Approx. 5.8% ABV
Pils, Munich and Vienna Malts
Tettnang and Hersbrucker hops
A classic marzen style lager, amber in color with a rich, toasty malt flavor and finish. Well balanced and smooth. The name is a play on words since in Baltimore, everyone is "hon!" Are You Hon Enough?
