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.

Stories Earned at Sea

From Pollywog To Shellback
For generations, sailors crossing the Equator for the first time have participated in the legendary Shellback Ceremony, a maritime tradition that transforms inexperienced Pollywogs into trusted Shellbacks. Inspired by tropical seas, warm ocean breezes, and one of the Navy's most enduring customs, Shellback Ceremony blends pineapple and mango flavors into a refreshing hard seltzer worthy of the occasion.

The Equator Changes Everything
Crossing the Equator is one of the oldest and most celebrated traditions in maritime history. For generations, Sailors making their first voyage across the Equator have earned the title of Shellback through a ceremony that marks their passage into a new fraternity of seafarers. Inspired by warm tropical waters and the spirit of adventure, Crossing the Line combines refreshing key lime and coconut flavors into a crisp hard seltzer worthy of the journey.

Not All Shellbacks Are Created Equal
Some crossings are routine. Others become legend.
Not all Shellbacks are created equal. Sailors who cross the Equator at the International Date Line earn the rare distinction of becoming a Golden Shellback, joining one of maritime tradition's most exclusive groups. Inspired by the unique crossing of two legendary lines on the globe, Golden Shellback combines passionfruit and guava flavors into a premium hard seltzer crafted for those who have gone the extra nautical mile.

The Cold Ones Taste Better
For centuries, sailors crossing the Arctic Circle have earned the title of Blue Nose, joining a select group who have operated in some of the harshest waters on Earth. Inspired by icy seas, endless northern horizons, and the resilience required to sail them, Blue Nose combines blueberry and lemon flavors into a crisp hard seltzer as refreshing as an Arctic breeze.

Few Sailors Enter. Fewer Return Unchanged.
Few Sailors earn the right to enter the Realm of the Czars. Reserved for those who have sailed the remote and unforgiving waters of the far North Pacific and Bering Sea, the title represents one of maritime tradition's most exclusive distinctions. Inspired by icy horizons, relentless seas, and the spirit of exploration, Realm of the Czars blends bold blackberry and blood orange flavors into a crisp hard seltzer crafted for those who venture beyond the edge of the chart.
