Coppertail Brewing realized that they had a great problem when making Cap’n Jack’s Stone Crab Stout. This was a beer whose byproduct, aside from a great stout, was a boatload of stone crabs ripe for the eating. This year, their problem is Tampa’s delight, as they have brought in LoKo Cuisine to serve up some tasty victuals with these quirky crustaceans.
From Coppertail Brewing:
Each year our head brew master Casey brews up a hearty stout called Capt’n Jack’s Stone Crab Stout, named for Jack Davis, the Key West fisherman friend who sources the crabs, and steeps 200 pounds of Florida stone crabs claws in the boil to impart a savory briny note to the beer.
This year we’ve teamed up with LOKO Cuisine to create a stone crab stout boil dinner to celebrate this luscious chocolaty dark stout.
Tickets for this event may be purchased here: http://www.lokocuisine.com/crab-dinner/
