CROSSING THE LINE SELTZER DIVISION

Not Every Sailor Earns the Same Title

For generations, Sailors have marked their journeys across the world's oceans through traditions earned at sea. Crossing the Equator. Crossing the International Date Line. Entering the Arctic Circle. Sailing the remote waters of the Bering Sea.


These milestones are more than lines on a chart. They represent experience, endurance, adventure, and the stories shared by those who have stood watch far from shore.


The Crossing the Line Series honors those legendary maritime traditions through a fleet of hard seltzers inspired by the ceremonies, distinctions, and accomplishments earned by sailors throughout their voyages.


Each flavor represents a unique chapter of the journey—from the warm equatorial waters of a newly earned Shellback to the frozen seas of the Blue Nose and the remote northern reaches of the Realm of the Czars.
