there's a bluebird in my heart

We'd like to give a special thanks to Duncan Mitchell (proprietor of The Chapel Tavern) for single handedly selling us out of Coniston's Bluebird Bitter. Luckily we have more arriving later this week. We consider ourselves lucky to work with someone like Duncan, and a handful of other bar owners, who understands that there is world outside of cheap corn based beers. Allow us to pay homage with Charles Bukowski-

"there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I pur whiskey on him and inhale
cigarette smoke
and the whores and the bartenders
and the grocery clerks
never know that
he's
in there."

The Beer of Bandits


We've been gone so long and so much has happened we don't really know where to start. Most importantly, we are working with The Shelton Brothers' beer portfolio. They have so many incredible brewers in their book that we would be fools to list just one, but that's what we'll do because we're full of fool's wisdom.

Go to St James' Infirmary and order one.
