Bad Mother Shucker
Roasted malt intensity meets a subtle brininess from fresh Louisiana oysters, added during the final brewing stage. Pale, caramel, roasted and chocolate malts form the base, Willamette hops give a hoppy kick and oats a smooth, full-bodied finish. The recipe came from Baton Rouge homebrewer Kerry Dale Yoes, who won an Abita contest in 2010. It ran as a limited release in 2012 and 2013 before it was bottled and renamed in 2015.
