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.


Clipper City MärzHon
Hops: Tettnang and Hersbrucker
Malts: Pils, Munich and Vienna
ABV: 5.25% ABV

A classic marzen style lager, amber in color with a rich, toasty malt flavor and finish. Well balanced and smooth. Marzen is the style of beer traditionally associated with Oktoberfest. The name is a play on words since in Baltimore, everyone is "hon!"  Once a year this beer gets a special "Oktoberfest" label.


Clipper City Pale Ale
Hops: Fuggles and Golding Hops
Malts: Pale, Crystal
ABV: Approx. 4.9% ABV

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.

Old Baltimore Style Beer

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.
