Our Heavy Seas line represents our highest expression of the brewer's art. Each beer is naturally bottle conditioned, intentionally leaving a small amount of live yeast in the package to naturally carbonate the beer. In addition, bottle conditioning adds subtle complexity and allows the beers to evolve over time (within reason), not unlike fine wine. We proudly present our Heavy Seas beers for the true beer afficiniado. As of now, all of these beers are limited release seaonals. Remember, it's Heavy Seas that separate the men from the boys!

Though sometimes referred to as wheat Doppelbocks, Weizenbocks are not all that closely related to actual Bock beers. Weizenbocks are ales while Bock beers are lagers. The use of ale yeast is important to creating the fruity flavors that are characteristic of this style, while lager yeast are used in Bock beers to create cleaner, less fruity flavors. The term bock or Doppelbock in the context of these beers is a reference to their alcoholic strength.
