aww, shucks | After having to cancel last year, Schlafly’s Stout and Oyster Festival is coming back! The event has been adapted to allow for safe social distancing. Guests can make reservations for the outdoor Shuckerdome, or swing by a special Biergarten drive-thru to pick up oysters, po’boys, brews and more to go. The festival will be held March 19 and 20. Reservations and drive-thru pre-orders can be made at schlaflycurbside.square.site.
