FOOD OF LOVE
With Valentines Day only a few more days away, we thought we'd share a few recipes that'll spice things up a bit for that special day and we've matched them each with one of our beers.
Oysters
Oysters were documented as an aphrodisiac food by the Romans in the second century A.D as mentioned in a satire by Juvenal. He described the wanton ways of women after ingesting wine and eating "giant oysters". In reality oysters are a very nutritious and high in protein.

Mustard
In European history, mustard has long been considered a potent aphrodisiac. Throughout much of recorded time, monks were not permitted to ingest mustard for it was believed to lead the men of God down the path to temptation.
It is mustard's pungency that earns the seed its aphrodisiac classification. Its intense, spicy flavour is credited with causing a rise in adrenalin.
