Oyster stout is an ode to our name Big Oyster Brewery. Historically, Oyster Stout began in the late 1800s when brewers found out that the shell of an oyster is packed with calcium carbonate, which could be used to purify and improve the beer while brewing. We at Big Oyster are keeping the tradition of Oyster Stout alive by adding our own spin on it to make this beer a rich and roasty sweet stout brewed with locally harvested oysters. Hints of dark chocolate and toasty bread will satisfy even the most sophisticated taste buds.
