Butcher and the Brewer puts on its annual Stout It Out Loud festival today. It’s a late-season celebration of dark beers and their most famous culinary partner: oysters.

Participating breweries include Fat Head’s, Collision Bend, Terrestrial, Platform and MadTree; all counted, nearly 30 local breweries will be on hand.

In addition to straight-up oysters, there will be oyster po’ boys and johnny-cake fried oysters.

The $45 ticket includes 20 beer samples and a six pack of oysters. The fun runs from noon to 4 p.m.
