WHAT: 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.
This will be the first opportunity to sample the limited edition Revival Stout before its released on draft April 6th. Port City will provide two kegs of the Revival Stout along with one of their year-round beers, Optimal Wit, brewed in the Belgian wit bier tradition. Additionally, War Shore will provide 2,000 oysters which will be shucked and prepared a variety of ways. Tickets are priced at $55 per person (exclusive of tax and fees), and available online at: www.blackjackdc.com/events-offers. Only 80 will be available so guests are encouraged to buy early!
WHEN: Saturday, March 17, 2012 from 2 PM until 4 PM.
