“Using our patented Bludshotzening process, we present a collection where punk, country, roots and good times meet. We used only the finest available barley and chops to bring you tunes in the true spirit of celebration. Brewed by the grimy light reflected off the green waters of the Chicago River, there’s a smooth yet spicy ear feel, redolent of feedback, pathos, humor and freshly mown grass. With tasting notes of boysenberry, elderflower, late night diners, shoe leather and an oaky, bitter finish, it’s a sound you’ll savor, listen after listen. ”
