Oxbow Brewing of Maine has come up with a way to enjoy two of Maine's summertime staples at the same time: beer and lobster.

The beer is brewed with live Maine lobsters and a dash of sea salt.

Tim Adams, of Oxbow Brewing, says that the lobsters are placed in a mesh bag and suspended in a kettle full of boiling wort during the brewing process. That gives the beer a subtle brininess and sweetness.

The lobsters that are used to brew the beer are eaten later.

The beer is available only on a limited basis and is served in the brewery's tasting room.

Would you try the lobster beer?
