Hugh Sisson created Maryland's first brew pub at his father's eponymously-named Federal Hill restaurant in the mid-1980s, resurrecting Baltimore's long-dormant local brewing traditions. By the mid-1990s, Hugh founded what would become Heavy Seas Beer, an award-winning craft brewery with distribution up and down the East Coast of the US. We met him in the Heavy Seas Taproom to discuss the craft brewing revival, pick his brain about what to look for in a good beer, and get some valuable insight about his other great passion, wine.
