Brewed by Mersea Island
Our recipe for a traditional Oyster Ale, using lots of oats, a mixture of light and dark malts and a small amount of Fuggles hops. The brew has local Mersea Island Oysters added to it, giving it a distinct unique flavour. Each cask has eight oysters added giving a 1 pint in 8 chance of the aphrodisiac properties of the oysters taking effect.
