Oysters on 12th

I just got back from a much needed late afternoon beer at 12th South Tap. It is getting cold and dark early, as dreaded winter approaches. This means that oysters are back in season and safe to eat. These gulf oysters were gorgeous. They were just the right combination of plumpness, smoothness, and brine. I love eating them with saltines and horseradish. And the good folks at the Taproom always count out just the right number of crackers. Seriously, someone counts them.
