Hugh
Sisson opened Baltimore's first brewpub Sisson's in 1989, encouraging the
re-emergence of craft beer in Baltimore. Mr. Sisson was the first brew master
at this pioneering brewpub, and developed a broad knowledge of beer styles and
brewing techniques.
In 1995, Hugh decided that it was time to leave Sisson's
and move the beers to a larger platform, so he established and developed
Clipper City as the Baltimore area's largest facility producing high caliber
beers for wholesale distribution. In late Fall of 1998 Clipper City
merged/acquired the Oxford Brewing Company, Maryland's first craft brewery.
In
2003, Clipper City developed another brand for the beer aficionado: Heavy
Seas. The Heavy Seas line represents our highest expression of the
brewer's art with very robust styles and ABVs usually in excess of 7%.
At
Clipper City our mission is to bring back the local brewery, and to do it in
such a way that we are more than just a fringe player, but a positive part of
our area. To accomplish this mission we have created a broad portfolio of
products and brands with enough diversity that we have at least one beer that
can appeal to everyone. Whether your preference is for a classic American style
lager beer, or a big, challenging Hop Cubed Ale, we have a something that will
suit your taste. Our goal is to brew beers for people who dare to walk up to
the edge of the mountain and actually jump forward. Our beers are for
those who chart a bolder course.
