During Oysters and Beer >> guests learned all about shape and cup size; that citrusy, grassy beers pair well with oysters; and that there is truth to the “R Rule” (eat local oysters in months with an “r” because of cooler water temps.) But the most impressive part of the seminar might have been when chef Brian Caswell realized he did not have a beer opener and popped open a bottle using his forearm. Don’t mess with Texas. Fact: When a menu reads “Gulf Oysters” that means the oysters can come anywhere from Apalachicola, Fla., to Galveston, TX; ask to see the tag if you want to know exactly what you’re eating.
