Everyone loves oysters, right? Well, not this guy. But I do love a good stout, which has me thinking this could be the worst tasting thing in the world or maybe the absolute worst tasting thing in the world.

Katie Tame, a brewer at the Harpoon plant in South Boston, is brewing the company’s limited edition Island Creek Oyster Stout today.

The idea grew out of discussions about coming up with a beer that would go well with oysters. Then Tame decided to take it a step further: Why not brew a beer where oysters are a key ingredient?

Harpoon reached out to Skip Bennett, owner of the Island Creek oyster farm in Duxbury. Bennett tells me he provided a couple hundred oysters to Harpoon, meaning each barrel would only get one oyster or two.

Tame tells me the namesake ingredient won’t be immediately obvious by taste. Instead, the oyster will likely blend in with the other ingredients in the stout. Tame says she burned through four test batches before today, tinkering with the recipe along the way.

I think this is one I will find myself passing on.
