Preparation
Step 1
Fill very large pot 2/3 full with salted water; bring to boil over high heat. Meanwhile, place potatoes, onions, and fennel in another very large pot. Add beer and 4 cups water; sprinkle with Old Bay seasoning and salt. Add 5 thyme sprigs and sausage. Bring to boil over high heat; reduce heat to medium-high. Cover; cook 15 minutes. Add corn, then mussels and remaining thyme. Cover and cook until mussels open and potatoes are cooked through, about 15 minutes longer.
Step 2
Meanwhile, drop lobsters headfirst into salted boiling water; cover. Boil until cooked through and shells turn bright red, about 13 minutes. Using tongs, remove lobsters from pot. Split in half lengthwise.
Step 3
Melt butter in saucepan and divide among 6 ramekins.
Step 4
Remove corn, fennel, onions, potatoes, and mussels from pot (discard any mussels that do not open). Divide among 6 large bowls. Place 1/2 lobster atop mixture in each bowl. Season broth with salt and pepper; pour over seafood and vegetables. Serve with melted butter, lemons, and Lemon-Herb Mayonnaise.
