Oyster Stout!

That must be why I’m so dumb.

But not dumb enough to eat an oyster?
(Kidding. I eat clams and mussels, just not oysters. I’m sure they’re fine)

just ordered a large tray of clams casino for my Christmas Eve party. Going serve a fresh keg of Brew cat IPA. Will have to do because I didn't get my Oyster stout brewed. Will have to do
 
Back in the mid- 2000s in New England, you could find oyster stouts pretty reliably in the winter. It seems to be a lost style, so I am always happy to see one on a menu. When I went to oxbow in Portland a few years ago, they had a beer with lobster and it was quite good. I wish I could remember more about it, but I think it was a Gose and didn't really taste overly strong of lobster. Glad to see folks are still experimenting!
 
They apparently sell the oysters we used for about $5 each in the restaurants. Crazy.

I'm not a seafood person. I will eat sushi but that is just different.

fantastic. It is my favorite stout as well. I use more oysters per gallon and don't taste salt which is good. I f you taste the salt you used to much. The salt will enhance the malt flavors more. Instead of hammering the shells you can just use more. I've got everything I need except the Oysters. I get them local but we have been getting a lot of rain lately so the beds were getting flooded with sediment and stuff so they had to pause the harvesting.
Your in Georgia? Never had them down there thought the water was to warm. I've had them as far south as the Chesapeake Bay they were alright but nothing like Cape Cod in my opinion

We used to have them up north in Apalachicola until some of the communities in Georgia decided that had to have more water and they got overharvested anyway. Oysters from the Gulf Coast are tasty. The places down here mostly get them from Louisiana or Texas these days.

Yikes! I remember getting them back in the 80s for $10 a bucket. I still have not had a chance to go to the local place, but the last time I was there, it was around $50/bucket. It might be more now. $5 each is getting toward California prices. Crazy. That is one expensive Rockefeller recipe.
 
I get Washington oysters for $1.50 each from a reputable local fish market. These are good, but when available, I prefer the oysters from Netarts Bay, Oregon. After shucking and slurping, the empty shells go in our garden. Maybe tonight I will enjoy a bottle of my stout with the 3 oysters left over from last night.
 
yeah $1.50 - $2 to shuck yourself , $2 - $3 shucked in a sit down restaurant and some times a buck a shuck at happy hours here in CT. But I,m close to the beds.You can actually lease oyster beds from the state fairly inexpensive but then there is work involved. Had a friend who did it. The grow them on beds here I know many places suspend baskets. The place in my video does both. You can buy them and they harvest and ship them for next day delivery and even then its not $5 a piece. Ill check their rates and edit this post
 
Buck a shuck up the road from me
 
dont quote me on that price, but that is what i was told. That might be a fancy version/presentation? i have no idea what they should cost as i dont eat them.
