Last year’s 2nd runnings of The Newburgh Conspiracy brought you Sally’s Oyster Stout. This year? Black Oyster Cult. We loved the slight souring we did to last year’s oyster beer, so we decided to step it up this year. We made it a bit more tart, made the salt notes more pronounced, and the result is a truly unique Black Gose-like creation. Black Oyster Cult comes in at 4.9% ABV; the beer was left to sour over the course of 2 days, and whole-shell oysters were then added during the boil. The beer drinks far lighter than it’s dark color… with pleasant notes of tart grapefruit, if you were to close your eyes, you’d be certain you were drinking a far lighter-colored beer. Close your eyes… Don’t Fear the Sour… and enjoy Black Oyster Cult!
