SHE SELLS SEASHELLS | OYSTER STOUT

TALEA BREWING

In early 2023, TALEA Beer Co., New York City’s first female-owned brewery, teamed up with us to launch She Sells Sea Shells. The 4.2% ABV stout, brewed using oyster shells collected by Billion Oyster Project’s Shell Collection Program, has notes of light roast coffee, semi-sweet chocolate, and sea salt.

WATERFRONT EXPERIENCE

PUTTING GREEN BK

PUTTING GREEN is an 18-hole mini golf course open to the public on the waterfront in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. This neighborhood pop-up, supported by Two Trees Management is designed to showcase the problems and solutions for some of the most pressing climate change issues facing our planet.

Hole 15 — The Big Oyster — is designed around the city’s oyster population, which has been decimated over the years due to overfishing, pollution, and habitat loss. This hole highlights the need for restoring the oyster’s habitat to make the city’s waterways healthier.

If you’re up early enough you can catch our co-branded shell collection truck — operated by The Lobster Place — picking up leftover shells from 60+ Brooklyn and Manhattan restaurants four times a week.

Here’s a recap of our 2022 Shell Collection Program thanks to Talisker’s support.
