Manor Hill Beer & Oyster Fest

On Saturday, March 21st, we will be hosting our second annual Manor Hill Beer & Oyster Fest. This family friendly day of farm fun begins at noon and will feature:

The release of our Longline Chesapeake Oyster Stout in cans and on draught.

(Oyster Stout, 5.2%) – Brewed in collaboration with Upweller Beer Company, we used freshly shucked Sewansecott Oyster shells from the Chesapeake Bay. This jet black beer is crowned with tan foam. It strikes the perfect balance of malty, roasty, and dark chocolatey goodness, with a subtle bitterness and minerality imparted by the oysters. Longline is a tribute to the sustainable oyster farming technique of the same name.

Fresh Local Oysters (shucked to order) from local purveyors and oyster farmers – Mama’s on the Half Shell and Double T Oyster Ranch! While enjoying their fresh oysters, learn about their organizations and sustainable oyster practices.

Black-Eyed Susan Spices (once featured on Hot Ones) will be on site with their award winning hot sauces and dry rubs.

Coastal Conservation Association of Maryland (local non-profit) will be sharing information on their cause and how vital these bivalves are to the health of the Bay.

Manor Hill Pizza Trolley will be open with brick-oven Neapolitan pizzas including their new “Oysterless Rockefeller” (Bechamel base, Bacon, Spinach, Shallots, Gruyere Cheese, Mozzarella/Provolone mix, Panko Breadcrumb Topping). In addition, they will have salads, snacks, novelty ice creams, and more!

Live Music from John Benjamin in the Courtyard from 1-4pm

Most of the activities will take place from 12-4pm (or later if we’re having a good time!), but the Farm will be open until 7pm.

No tickets needed, just come and enjoy the day!
