West Kill Brewing Oyster Days Festival

Spring in the Great Northern Catskills means one thing: Oyster Days is back at West Kill Brewing! The third annual Oyster Days Festival on May 16th, 12–7pm, and Hudson Valley road-trippers, Albany day-trippers, and NYC weekenders should mark their calendars now.

This year's lineup is the best yet. Fresh shucked oysters from Oyster Party will be flowing all afternoon, and if you've never held a shucker before, West Kill's learn-to-shuck stations have you covered — no experience required, just an appetite. Specialty pies from Forno Rosso will be fueling the crowd, wood-fired and worth every bite. And anchoring it all is the release of the Oyster Days Oyster Stout, a West Kill limited brew you simply can't get anywhere else. 

But the festival goes well beyond beer and oysters. Thorn Tattoo is bringing their flash designs — collaboratively crafted with the West Kill crew — for on-the-spot ink, and custom chain stitching adds one more reason to stick around until sunset. Live music, a raffle, and the kind of easy mountain energy that makes it worth the drive or work a stay at any of the local lodges.
