The GOODS from Parallel 49 Brewing Co.

Vancouver, BC | With West Coast oysters back in season, Parallel 49 Brewing Company is partnering with Merchant’s Oyster Bar and Sawmill Bay Shellfish for a month-long Oyster Fest. From September 22nd to October 22nd, stop by Merchant’s Oyster Bar at 1590 Commercial Drive for $1 oysters and a $3 12 oz. Craft Lager. The first weekend of Oyster Fest will see Steve and Linda Pocock from Sawmill Bay Shellfish shucking oysters with the Merchant’s Oyster Bar staff. Parallel 49 Brewing Company will also be releasing a limited edition Oyster Stout to commemorate the end of Oyster Fest once the month has wrapped.

The province’s recent weather change is making West Coast oysters safe to eat raw again. Sawmill Bay Shellfish, one of the most authentic independent shellfish companies in B.C, will provide all oysters served at Oyster Fest.

“We’re very happy to be partnering with our friends at Merchant’s Oyster Bar and Sawmill Bay Shellfish for Oyster Fest,” said Graham With, Head Brewmaster at Parallel 49 Brewing Company.

The Oyster Stout will recreate the oyster flavour without containing any oysters. Developed by Parallel 49 Brewing Company Head Brewmaster Graham With, the beer will be available in limited quantities at Parallel 49 Brewing Company’s tasting room and at Merchant’s Oyster Bar. The Oyster Stout will be released at the end of Oyster Fest.

“We’re always looking for unique flavours to add to our brews,” said With. “It’s all about trying new things and creating something that’s fresh and original.”

Stop by Merchant’s Oyster Bar from September 22nd to October 22nd for buck-a-shuck oysters and $3 12oz. Craft Lagers from Parallel 49 Brewing Company. For more information about Parallel 49 Brewing Company, please visit: www.parallel49brewing.com.

PRESS & Accolades

“The Parallel 49 Brewing Co. opened on Triumph Street a year ago, and has bubbled up as vigorously as the 30 or so weirdly named beers from its six 5,000-litre and eight 10,000-litre tanks. Weird? How about Banana Hammock? Salty Scot? Lost Souls? Hoparazzi? Ugly Sweater? Schadenfreude? The latter word refers to the pleasure in seeing others fail. That certainly wouldn’t apply to Anthony Frustagli, Nick Paladino, Mike Sleeman and Scott Venema, who own the St. Augustine’s restaurant and craft-beer mecca, and Michael Tod and Graham With who joined them to found Parallel 49.” – Malcolm Parry, The Vancouver Sun

“It’s always exciting to see a new craft beer maker pop up in Vancouver; it’s even more exciting to see a brewery push boundaries, take risks and create new and interesting flavour combinations. Expect to see bold choices coming from Parallel 49 in the future.” – Ryan Tessier, Vancity Buzz

“Having an understanding of the science of brewing has almost certainly enabled Parallel 49 to achieve consistency in its product, even with the brewery in a state of near-constant expansion.” – Jan Zeschky, The Province
