A Constant Visual Feast

“Nothing compliments a Maine summer’s day more than a helping of oysters on the half shell: briny and refreshing, a spiritual connection between you and the ocean. And nothing takes the chill out of an icy winter’s eve better than a stout: heartening and robust, a tall, dark glass of roastiness best enjoyed by a nicely crackling fire but worth drinking without the bonus atmospheric touch. Imagining the setting and circumstances where you’d want to experience these two things together is a puzzle, and that puts the oyster stout, where mollusks and crystal extra dark malt meet, in an exceptionally niche space.” (Full feature at Hop Culture.)
