Jeff and Barbara Black,
Chef/Owners of Black Restaurant Group and the newly opened Pearl Dive Oyster
Palace and Black Jack restaurants, are pleased to host a pre-release party for
Port City Brewing Company’s Revival Stout. On Saturday, March 17th from 2 PM
to 4 PM, Bill Butcher, Owner of Port City Brewing Company, and Brad Blymier,
Co-Owner of War Shore Oyster Company, will be at Black Jack to debut their
special edition beer that was specially created to have an affinity for oysters
and seafood. Crafted by Head Brewer Jonathan Reeves, this beer was made by
steeping War Shore’s Chesapeake Bay oyster shells in the brewing water to
enhance mineral content, and then adding the oysters and their liquor to the
brew during the boil. The oysters add a subtle briny character, and a smooth
textural element to the beer.
