Shuck Up the Perfect Pair

An oyster in one hand while leaning over the bar of your favourite craft beer joint, looking at the endless selection of IPAs, stouts, pale ales, porters, session ales and more, just wondering what to pair your oyster with. 

We’re here to help you answer that question. 

We experimented with lots of oysters and lots more beer (we may have gotten a bit carried away with the beer) and came up with three pairings that you should definitely try for yourself!

1. Tragheanna Bay (Ireland) x 2 Brothers Kung Foo Rice Lager 

These smaller “nuggets” are named after the pristine bay where they are grown. Young, sweet and satisfying with a good meat-to-shell ratio, the sweetness of this oyster is followed by a slight saltiness with a very savoury taste. To pair a beer with this oyster, 2 Brothers Kung Foo Rice Lager is the best way to go. Its soft malt profile, low bitterness, citrus hop characters along with its crisp finish compliments the sweetness and light saltiness of the oyster.

2. Orford Rock (England) x Brewdog Punk IPA / Hakwers Stout

Grown by 2nd generation oysterman and fisherman Bill Pinney up the Suffolk coast from West Mersea. Meaty with a delicious distinctive sea vegetable flavour, and a succulent, mineral finish. An IPA or Stout would be an amazing drink to go with this oyster. Some might argue that the harsh nature of the flavours from an IPA or a Stout might cut through and kill off all the flavours from the oyster, but on the contrary the bitter, hoppy kick from an IPA goes hand-in-hand with the oyster’s mineral finish. So does the toasty malt flavour from a Stout.

The IPA that we would recommend would be Brewdog’s Punk IPA. As for the Stout, we would suggest Hawkers Stout. You could give Rogue’s Hazelnut Brown Ale a try as well. The result may surprise you. 

3. Fine de Claire (France) x Shneider Weisse Tap 7 

Finished in the famous shallow clay ponds on Frances’ Atlantic coast, these green-gilled slender oysters are juicier, but less meaty. Woody and herby, with big earthy flavours to finish. For this delightful oyster, a wheat beer is what you should go for and where else to turn to for wheat beer than Schneider Weisse - the masters of brewing wheat beer. Wheat beer’s distinctive banana and light vanilla flavours harmonises brilliantly with this oyster’s earthy tones. We recommend Schneider Weisse’s Tap 7. 

Give there pairings a try and let us know what you think! Or better yet, come up with your own pairing! Doesn’t sound like a bad idea, does it? It’s a good to head down to the bar with your mates anyway. 

Cheers!

Imagine... 

That pretty much sums up the world of craft beer.

This is one hell of a spicy beer! 

Ok. That may be a bit of an exaggeration. Nevertheless, this ale has a subtle spice to it. The addition of chipotle gives this ale a slight spicy kick as it goes down! Surprisingly refreshing too.

Slight bitterness with a sting of sweetness. 

The cool thing about this beer is that the honey is actually from the bees Rogue’s very own farm! 

One of the many attributes of this beer (besides the taste) is that it can be paired with almost any dish that you order. The subtle flavours doesn’t overpower the dish. It just accompanies it like a shy girl trying to hold his girlfriend’s hand for the first time (that may not make much sense, but it had to be to said or our boss might kill us)

Can’t help falling in love with this IPA from Brewdog. 

Beerble had a new member added to our family recently & he was in his own words “a craft beer newbie” and it just so happen that we had a bottle or two of Brewdog’s Elvis Juice in our fridge. 

His first reaction after the first sip was that of confusion. The bitterness from the hops followed by the sweet-ish flavour sort of woke him up from his what we are gonna call as “beer nap”. 

Needless to say, he had another bottle after that.

#Repost @seehau_chill ・・・ To Øl Holy Moly with Apples and Blackberries. Belgian strong ale, 9.4% ABV. • I was told by the staff that it was a sour ale. No wonder it did not make sense when the plum-like notes and wine-like finish took a hit at my palate. • I had this after an Elvis Juice and a Jet Black Heart, yet it was very quaffable despite being a formidable beer style. I enjoyed this. Perfect for a hot Sunday afternoon, and a perfect style to celebrate the Belgium’s win against England football team in the World Cup. #craftbeer #beertasting #beergeek #beerstagram #beersofinstagram #belgianbeer #belgianstrongale #toølbeer

The age-old debate- which is better? Canned or bottled beer? 

[beerble-blog]

Hopus is derived from a secret batch that was brewed for the marriage of Paul Lefebvre- a sixth generation Lefebvre. This Belgian Strong Ale’s aroma is a blend of citrus & fruity notes paired with intense hoppy & malty flavours that are not overwhelming but perfectly balanced.

Never look at your beer as half empty. Look at it as you're halfway to your next beer. 🍻 Hope you guys are having a great Monday!

If you could get your daily dose of Vitamin C from beer, this is the one you should go for. Brewed with the rare Fukure Mikan orange, this IPA is fruity in flavour with a bit of a dry aftertaste. 🍻 P.S We're not sure about the Vitamin C though.
