Flying Fish Route 1 Bayshore Oyster Stout
I’d heard it was mild but I withheld judgement until I finally had the chance to try it. It’s good, subtle. Pours like a standard stout, tastes like a standard stout. Very coffee, a bit of chocolate, there’s a funky finish to it. And then a second after you finish, there’s a bit of saltiness—there’s the oysters.
The oysters are placed in a grain bag and steeped with the wart for a few moments, just enough to give off the salty finish. It’s nothing over the top great, just a very solid beer with an interesting finish. Not too expensive, either. Recommended.

Yes, my friends… beer brewed with Oysters. Cheers to New Jersey.
Thank you for casting your vote in the 2009 Beer Lover’s Choice competition for the next Samuel Adams beer! You were one of 68,000 drinkers across the nation that voted and with over 55% of the votes we are excited to announce Samuel Adams® Nobel Pils (Sample A) is the winner!! In fact, we had such a positive response to this beer that the brewers have decided to make it our new spring seasonal brew in 2010.
Neither of them were particularly good, and this wasn’t the one I voted for.
I started bottling homebrew batch #3 and said, “this doesn’t look good. I might have to call this ‘Thanksgiving Disaster.’” Then, as the half-glass of flat beer sat on the counter, I started to clean out my carboy, and the smell was unmistakable: it smelled like every good solid amber ale I dream of drinking. In fact, it reminds me a lot of Mac & Jack’s African Amber, one of my favorite “keep-it-local” ambers from out west.
Light-bodied, heavy on the sweet malts, but with a nice, rich, hoppy finish. Can’t wait for this one to bottle-condition.
