Community, Partnerships & Donations
At Heavy Seas, our commitment goes beyond brewing bold, full-flavored beers. We believe in contributing to the well-being of our community.
To maximize our impact, we adopt a "quality over quantity" approach to larger-scale partnerships. We prioritize aligning with individuals and organizations that share our passion for overcoming obstacles to achieve meaningful missions. By focusing our efforts on select partnerships each year, we can make a more significant impact in our community.
2024 Confirmed partnerships
In 2024, Heavy Seas will partner with local Baltimore runner Tom Yorke for the monumental "MS Run the U.S." relay. This relay symbolizes resilience in the fight against Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and aims to raise funds for MS research while supporting those affected by the disease.
From March to July 2024, Heavy Seas will host a series of fundraising events in our Taproom, with a portion of proceeds from every pint sold directly supporting MS Run the U.S.
The Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter (BARCS) is Maryland’s largest companion animal shelter and the sole open-admission shelter in Baltimore City, providing refuge for over 12,000 animals annually.
Heavy Seas has proudly partnered with BARCS for 6 years. Each year, we brew a collaboration beer, with proceeds from its sales donated to support BARCS’ vital mission in saving lives and giving medical care to pets in need.
