Excuse me sir...there is an Oyster in my beer!

Prepare yourself for what you are about to hear if you are not much of an exotic beer drinker.

Oyster Beer....or as they would say in Boston...Oystah Beeya.

"The 36th offering from the Harpoon 100 Barrel Series is Island Creek Oyster Stout, brewed by Harpoon's Bill Leahy. The original version of this beer was brewed in the winter of 2010. 

The idea for the Harpoon 100 Barrel Series Island Creek Oyster Stout came after years of enjoying locally harvested oysters over freshly brewed pints of beer with our friends from Island Creek. Stouts have long been paired with oysters, though seldom brewed with them. This is our take on the age-old tradition."

Yup that's right, our friends over at Harpoon have been cooking this up since this past winter as part of their 100 Barrel Series. It is an Oyster Stout brewed with oysters from Island Creek Oyster Farms up in Duxbury, MA.

Now the reason I say I wish I were in Vermont is because Harpoon is having an exclusive tasting tonight at their Windsor, VT brewery from 6:00-8:00pm. As strange as it may sound to some people, I really want to try this beer. I don't even really care much for oysters but I am always looking to try new beers, and this sounds like something right up my alley.

With all that being said. I am thinking of going to the Boston Harpoon Brewery this weekend for a brewery tour (and to hopefully snag some oyster beer) and I happen to have a free pass for two people...and if you are of age you can drink to your hearts content at the end of the tour. So comment on this post to have the opportunity of joining me on my quest this weekend. Just give me some of your thoughts on the Oyster Beer and then tell me why you wanna come along this weekend. And one lucky person can come along FOR FREEEE.

Cheers.
