Yards Brewing Company is going to be at London Grill on February 12th to host a pairing of their Love Stout and oysters. Yards owner Tom Kehoe will be there to regale attendees not only of the finer points of the roasty ale but also of his “carny past,” whatever that means. According to Steven Beumont’s World of Beer,

…the marriage of oyster and black beer is indeed a partnership formed in heaven, one in which the silken textures of both mollusk and ale combine to form a harmonious bridge between palate and gullet, and the dry roast of the stout provides the perfect foil to the subtle, salty tang of the oyster. Truly a sublime food experience if ever there was one.

Translation: this should be a tasty pairing.
