If you love beer, and lobster; consider this two birds and one stone.

Newcastle based Oxbow Brewing has released beer made with live Maine lobsters and a dash of sea salt. The beer is called Saison Dellaragosta, which means Lobster Saison in Italian. The beer is described as having a briny taste, combined with the sweetness of lobster.

During the brewing process lobsters are suspended in a kettle full of boiling grain. It takes about a year to brew.

You'll find the lobster beer at Oxbow's tasting room in Portland, and brewery in Newscastle.
