You make me want to, SHUCK & STOUT!

Join us in FeBREWary as we celebrate locally made beer and locally harvested Maryland oysters! We’ve put together a list of pairings for you to enjoy that you can find at restaurants across the state in the month of February. We also located those events to get you out of the house and included a list of places to buy oysters & beer to enjoy at home.

Not only are oysters a great source of protein, when you eat Maryland oysters, you’re supporting Maryland watermen! Remember to recycle the shells which then are used to grow more oysters in the Bay. Find out more at https://www.oysterrecovery.org/.

Grab your loved ones and introduce them to a palate-pleaser that may tickle their senses and warm their souls this winter!
