Efforts around here (Mobile Bay, MS Sound areas) seem experimental/nascent, and funded by oil-spill money. I've heard of some big, well-established operations over in Cedar-Key area (peninsular FL), that are producing clams as well, but never tasted their wares. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the most coveted oysters around here are farmed. Lady's Island. They're pretty great. And, really, "we" just need to be building farms in general, whether we eat the oysters or not. https://billionoysterproject.org/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an aside, 1st mariculture operation I ever saw was (sort'a) in your neighborhood, coastal SC (north of you, I think?) in early '80s. I believe it has since failed (some kind of disease) but they were raising shrimp big enough to cut steaks from, in ponds. One of their trophies was actually over a pound. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShocksMyBrain 9,364 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Finally did it. 1000th unique check in I had been holding onto. Big notes of chocolate, vanilla, oak, caramel. Hints of coffee, cinnamon, and some rye. Not totally boozy, but it could’ve laid down a little longer. Ladies(?) and gentlemen...2015 BCBS Rare. The crown jewel of my cellar. Now to get on with my untappd backlog. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Causeway and Jai Alai are both excellent beers. “Slumming” on a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale right now at a Marriott Courtyard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Refuge 6,662 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Cocodrie DDH IPA by Bayou Teche Brewing and Jucifer by Gnarly Barley brewing. Both really solid offerings. The Jucifer is a little softer with better mouthfeel and citrus than the Cocodrie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShocksMyBrain 9,364 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Stone’s take on the NEIPA. It’s good, packed with hops and citrus. But it just doesn’t land on the mouthfeel. It’s soft, but sweet. Would buy again at $13.99 a 16oz 6pk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumps 3,704 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I was at the beach all week and tried to find a beer worthy of oresenting to you guys. Here’s the best I could come up with: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumps 3,704 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Blackberry Farms and Yazoo collaboration Peel Your Face orange IPA. It may be because I dread going back to work tomorrow, but I just don’t like this one at all! Good mouth feel but WAY too tart for me. I’m still waiting for it to open up.

However, distribution in AL is relatively new, so supply may be limited? Bloom is a spring seasonal release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloom is a spring seasonal release. I've found both on the latest two trips to the Alabama coast. And I don't know if its just me or what, but both fell short of previous tastings. Thank goodness I found freshly canned Jai Alai that saved both trips. I probably should add that I took a case of Devils Harvest. Never leave home without it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bloom dropped a bit of the pineapple juice hop pretty fast. Like within a week of purchase. It was still really good, but not as good as it was within a month of bottling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
