Let’s take a trip on the happiest road in the world my friends. A magical road that leads to a land of sunshine and gumdrops. A trail so full of wonder and delight it could only be called one thing, the New Jersey Turnpike. Saw that coming didn’t you? You may of heard about the good people over at Flying Fish Brewing and their Exit Series line of beers that celebrate every exit on the greatest highway in the nation. Each stop on the trip highlights another great thing about New Jersey.

Last week I got my hands on their Exit 1 Bayshore Oyster Stout. “Oyster?!” you might be saying right now, “What kind of shit are they trying to pull here Joe!?”. Well I’d first as you not to swear, this is a family site. And second I’d say yes they do actually put oysters in the beer, Delaware oysters to be precise, and it’s wonderful. They give the beer a great creamy texture without any of the strange flavor you might be thinking you’ll get. The beer as more of a rich chocolate flavor and coffee aroma. A bit of a smokey armoa and flavor also but all around a really great beer from what is so far a great series of brews.
