Heavy Seas Brewery

Easy to get to brewery just outside of downtown BAL with free parking onsite. Busy on a Wednesday night, seemed to be mostly locals. Very dog friendly. One bartender, she was working hard to get everyone their beers. The selection was a lot of their big sellers, with 1 or 2 surprises. We had a good time and would come back.

So the ambience here is not the greatest , the decor reminded me of a warehouse canteen, however the staff are super friendly and the tap list is quite comprehensive. Had 16 of their own beers on plus a cider. One beer was on a hand pump. Offer flights and also small pours. I tried 5 or 6 beers and all of them were good or better. The stand-outs for me were the Key Lime Joose Canon and the Red Eclipse (BBA stout with cherries). They have a small corner next to the bar with some merchandise (unfortunately they didn’t have any T-Shirts left in my size) and some beers to go. There was a food truck outside when I visited selling burgers and gumbo, I had the latter and it was excellent. An absolute must visit, highly recommended.

Swung by after landing at BWI. Industrial area. This is the production brewery, so the overall space is large. Very little parking in the taproom area. There is a lot of parking back in further, but you will end up walking a ways to get back to the public space. There is an outdoor area with heaters, as well as an inside area with small tables and a bar. No food, but they do have food trucks. Service decent, perhaps a bit slow. They had about 8 of their beers on tap, including a BBA stout. A single cask variant available. Otherwise it seemed like mostly the regular lineup; lots of Cannons. Flights of four available, forgot the price. I have generally been happy with the few previous Heavy Seas beers I have had, and thus was fairly surprised when the whole sample tray consisted of mediocre beer. The best was the English Strong Ale. The hoppy stuff was not great at all.

Its worth noting that they also had a cooler with bombers and six packs of things to go, including several that were not on tap. Merchandise available, and there was a doorway with a "tours start here" sign that I did not investigate.

Allright space, but given the beer quality, I can't see myself going back.

I’ve wanted to come here for a long time, but Saturday-only hours were kind of limiting. Now they have a proper taproom with expanded hours, so it’s worthwhile coming here just for a beer or two, even if you don’t do the tour. They had two special casks on, two other seasonals, and some of their core range. They do have burgers, brats, etc which looked OK but I did not partake. Outdoor picnic tables were great since the weather was nice (they’re on a covered porch). Plenty of parking. One server-in-training was the star of the show, whereas the more experienced guy training her was much less impressive. Worth a stop.

Packed on a Saturday. Good service, great special on draft flight with free glass.

I stopped on by here on a Saturday morning. 11am tour wasn’t too busy, but by the 12:30 one, the place had filled in nicely. Food truck outside with some pretty delicious food. Folks pouring the beers were quite nice and beer samples were part of the tour - with the option to buy pints. Two casks, but just amped up versions of the regular beer when I visited. Bottles available to purchase.

Tour was nice, with ability to walk around entire brewery - a touch sticky on the floor around the barrels - time for a good cleaning! Probably worth going for brewery competitions, people who aren’t familiar with their beers or people who really just want to drink a few Heavy Seas beers.

Small parking lot. Small wooded deck area just outside. Small bar, sits maybe 10. Many small tables made from barrels which can probably sit 4 apiece. 8 beers on tap, which included 2 Uncharted Waters. Good prices on beer, great prices on most merch. Bartenders were very kind, and very entertaining. I think they were drinking along with the patrons, but I am in no way trying to ruin anyone’s good time. Nice little place.

I am not sure where the picture came from in the listing, but it does not look like that at all. Located in an industrial complex, the tasting room is in the very front. There is limited signage that indiciates when to go in so I sat in the parkling lot for 15 minutes trying to figure out if i was in the right place. Once I figured it out I had a very enjoyable Thursday evening. They had 8 beers on tap plus 2 on cask. Mostly their standard offerings but also a couple barrel aged beers. Very friendly staff...I actually got an impromtu tour of the brewery from an employee who was sitting at the bar having a pint. Nice atmosphere and really a great place. No food, but it appears you can bring your own.

Nice place. Usual brewery style warehouse. Staff was extremely nice and knowledgeable. Definitely worth a trip.
