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.
