Everybody’s favorite oyster-and-ale festival returns to East 4th Street on Saturday, February 17. Stout It Out Loud will take place from noon to 4 p.m. at Butcher and the Brewer (2043 East 4th St.). The popular years-running event (save for a brief absence) rounds up the state’s best craft stouts and pairs them with a bevy of freshly shucked oysters.

Already more than 20 Ohio brewers have signed up to pour their beers. Those suds will be offered alongside oysters on the half shell, oyster po’ boys and fried johnny cakes. All foods are sold as add-ons to the general admission ticket price of $45 (plus exorbitant Eventbrite fees). A dozen oysters will set you back $35 (plus exorbitant Eventbrite fees), while a six-pack costs $18 (plus exorbitant Eventbrite fees).
