Harpoon Island Creek Oyster Stout

Harpoon Brewery began brewing some oyster stout last Thursday that is slated to be available in early February. Brewed by Harpoon Brewer Katie Tame using Island Creek Oysters harvested by Founder, Skip Bennett, the idea of the Island Creek Oyster Stout came organically after years of sharing freshly harvested oysters over locally brewed pints of beer together.

“Everyone at Island Creek Oysters is honored to have this opportunity to partner with our friends at the Harpoon Brewery after years of working together and create something unique that we’re all so proud,” explained Skip Bennett. “To be able to continue to partner with a like-minded brand that sources local ingredients and has strong ties to the community is truly a pleasure.“

“It is exciting to work with the people at Island Creek who, like us, are enthusiastic and passionate about the freshness and quality of their product,” remarked Katie Tame. “This beer is not only a merging of two great New England offerings, it is also a merging of history.  Stouts have long been paired with oysters, though seldom brewed with them.  This is our contemporary twist on an age-old tradition.  We hope beer and oyster lovers have as much fun drinking it as we had brewing it.“
