Sea Stories: A Rotating New England IPA Series
Check the bottom of your can, or scan the QR code on the can to see what “Chapter” of Sea Stories you are enjoying!
Every great coastal town has its legends, and at Break Rock Brewing, we’re bringing those tales to life—one pour at a time. Sea Stories is our new rotating New England IPA series, a collection of hop-forward brews inspired by the mystery and might of the sea. Each chapter in this evolving series tells a new story, with flavors as deep and complex as the waters that surround us.
The artwork on each can sets the stage: a vintage depiction of a towering sailboat, locked in battle with the monstrous grip of a kraken. It’s a fitting image for Quincy, MA—where shipbuilding history meets the unpredictable forces of the Atlantic. Just as sailors once traded stories of the unknown, we’re crafting beers that capture that same sense of adventure. No two chapters will be the same, and as each release unfolds, you’ll find new hop combinations, bold flavors, and a narrative that keeps you coming back for more.

The saga continues…
Chapter 2 of our rotating New England IPA series – “Sea Stories” dives headfirst into tropical waters. Brewed with BRU-1 and Elani hops, this New England IPA unleashes a wave of lush, overripe fruit character, backed by malt steeped with mango and pineapple, and fermented with expressive Kveik yeast. The result? A full-bodied explosion of coconut, guava, pineapple, and mango—so vivid, it’s practically glowing in the glass.
This chapter is louder, juicier, and even more adventurous than the last. Each sip feels like a sun-drenched story told on the deck of a weathered boat, somewhere between myth and memory. Scan the code. Check the bottom of your can. You’ve just opened Chapter 2. Let the legend grow.
6.5% ABV. Available on draft and to-go in our taproom and through select retailers. Don’t see it at your favorite store or bar? Have them give us a call!
