save the oysters! drink beer! Inside a hard, sometimes rough, exterior is a layer of soft tissue capable of producing gleaming white spheres desired around the world. Our newest release, Pearl Necklace Oyster Stout, is a tribute to the magical mollusks that not only cultivate gemstones, but are also crucial to the Chesapeake Bay's fragile ecosystem. Proceeds from Pearl Necklace, a dry stout brewed with local oysters, benefit the Oyster Recovery Project. Why is oyster recovery so important? •Disease, habitat loss, and overfishing have reduced the Chesapeake Bay's oyster population to a mere 1% of its historical peak. That's right, one percent! •Oysters are filter feeders.

upcycling - re-purposing - recycling at its best:  beer related! brewdog challenged its drinkers to pimp their dog

Fortunately, there are dedicated entrepreneurs like Ruairi Curtin who'd rather make green dreams come true. Ever since Curtin moved from Ireland to my home turf of Astoria ten years ago, he's wanted to open a bar with a local vibe. "I often found myself sitting at home in the evening looking to go locally to have a beer," says Curtin, "but I could never find a bar that made me feel at home—a place to hang my hat, saddle up to the bar, and meet like minded, good people."
