The team at Foyle Bia Mara is winding down after a fantastic weekend at this year’s Oyster and Stout Festival hosted by the Walled City Brewery. The event was one of many put together by restaurants, street vendors, and food producers from Derry and the surrounding area to celebrate the vibrant local culinary scene. So, in case you missed it, here’s a run down of the second annual Oyster and Stout Festival.

Foyle Bia Mara’s Fresh Oysters
When it comes to oysters, nobody does it better than Foyle Bia Mara(FBM). With their expertise in sourcing and shucking the finest seafood delights, they brought the briny goodness to the festival in style. Picture a team of skilled oyster shuckers, ready to serve up platters of freshness to eager festival-goers.
Walled City Brewery’s Original Stouts
But wait, what’s a seafood feast without a good brew to wash it down? That’s where Walled City Brewery stepped in, bringing their A-game with a range of special stouts crafted just for the occasion. From velvety smooth to rich and robust, their brews were the perfect complement to FBM’s oysters.
The Perfect Pairing
Oysters and stouts go together like a match made in heaven. The briny sweetness of the oysters pairs beautifully with the roasted malt flavours of the stouts, creating a taste sensation that’s as bold as it is irresistible.
