For those interested in food options outside of oysters, the Schlafly Tap Room will be open for limited seating with the full restaurant menu available, in addition to limited oyster specials.
“Last year, our Stout and Oyster Festival was right around the corner when the pandemic hit, and we made the difficult decision to cancel the event for the first time. We’re looking forward to bringing back the spirit of the event with these adapted socially distanced experiences,” says Founding Brewer Stephen Hale. “Although we will miss seeing our shucker friends from both coasts this year, we hope that our guests who have come to look forward to the event year after year will raise a stout to them and enjoy some fresh oysters with us safely at the Schlafly Tap Room.”
As with past Stout & Oyster Festivals, the Oyster Stout can features a commemorative design for 2021. This year’s can features the Schlafly Tap Room inside of a large oyster shell to celebrate over 20 years of fresh oysters at the brewery. The Oyster Stout will be available for a limited time in 4-packs of 16-ounce cans at the brewpubs only, starting on Stout & Oyster Festival weekend.
