XIII XIII WE’RE FILTHY THIRTEEN, AND WE DO THINGS A CERTAIN WAY. WE DON’T USE THESE SPIRITS BECAUSE THEY’RE ALL WE CAN FIND. WE USE THESE SPIRITS BECAUSE WE LIKE THE PEOPLE WHO PRODUCE THEM AND THEY TASTE GREAT. WE DON’T USE THESE INGREDIENTS BECAUSE THEY’RE CHEAP. WE USE THESE INGREDIENTS BECAUSE THEY’RE THE BEST THAT WE CAN SOURCE LOCALLY. WE DON’T SOURCE LOCALLY FOR MERE CONVENIENCE. WE SOURCE LOCALLY BECAUSE THE PRODUCE IS EXCEPTIONAL AND UNNECESSARY TRANSPORT IS A WASTE. XIII FILTHY WE DON’T USE CONTEMPORARY METHODS TO BE COOL OR EDGY. WE HAVE OUR METHODS BECAUSE WE THINK THEY MAKE THE BEST DRINKS. WE DIDN’T OPEN THIS BAR TO FEEL BETTER THAN OUR CUSTOMERS BECAUSE WE LOVE FANCY AMARO. WE OPENED THIS BAR, AND WE GATHERED THIS TEAM, TO BE WITH OUR CUSTOMERS. WE DON’T WANT TO BE CLEAN, VAPID, SOULLESS. JOIN US. 2 3 XIII XIII Collaboration of arts - A wip BRISTOL HAS A PHENOMENAL HISTORY OF STREET ART - THERE’S A LOT TO LEARN, AND SOCIAL COMMENTARY IS CRUCIAL - LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE, NOT THE POLITICIANS. ANYTHING CAN BE A CANVAS TO EITHER ARTIST OR VIEWER IF THEY’RE WILLING TO LOOK, AND WE’D SAY THE STREETS OF BRISTOL POSSESS GREATER BEAUTY AMONG THEM THAN MOST GALLERIES. EVERY MENU, WE’LL COLLABORATE WITH A DIFFERENT ARTISTS, ALLOWING OTHER WORKS TO INSPIRE OR BE INSPIRED BY OUR DRINKS. WE WANT THIS TO BE DONE ORGANICALLY, SO, WITHOUT A BAR YET LAUNCHED, WE DIDN’T HAVE MUCH TO GIVE AN ARTIST. FOR THIS FIRST MENU, IT’D BE BULLSHIT TO HAVE ARTWORK ALREADY IN PLACE. WE WANT TO FIND OUT WHO AND WHAT FILTHY XIII IS - DEFINING OUR CONCEPT, TEAM AND LOCATION - BEFORE WE COLLABORATE. SO THIS SPACE IS OPEN - KNOW ANYONE? FANCY WORKING TOGETHER? SLIP US A LITTLE MESSAGE - [email protected] 4 5 XIII XIII IS ANYTHING EVER NEW, REALLY? LIKE, ACTUALLY? Fauxhemians SURELY WE’RE OUT OF FRESH IDEAS BY NOW.

WHAT COMES OUT IS ONE VERY TASTY BEVERAGE, MADE FOR WE WANTED TO HARNESS SIMILAR FLAVOURS THROUGH A PEOPLE WANTING TO HAVE NOTHING BUT A GOOD TIME. MORE RESPONSIBLE AND CONSIDERED USE OF ‘URBAN JUNGLE’ INGREDIENTS - LESS OF A SOJOURN THROUGH A PRISTINE GREENHOUSE, MORE OF A STROLL FROM OFFICE TO OFFIE. C.R.E.A.M.

FINZEL GREEN SPOT IRISH WHISKEY Woodford Reserve - Harveys Bristol Cream MARTINI RUBINO - CHARTREUSE - 4D BARREL BITTERS APPLE Molasses - Salted Walnut SOMETIMES, BRISTOL REALLY LIKES TO DO THINGS ITS OWN THROUGHOUT OUR GEORGIAN HEYDAY, BRISTOL THRIVED UPON WAY - ONE SUCH *TIME* WAS EXACTLY THAT - OUR OWN IMPERIAL TRADE - MOSTLY TOBACCO AND SHERRY - AND, AMIDST IT TIMEZONE, PRECISELY 10 MINUTES BEHIND GMT, BECAUSE ALL, CONRAD FINZEL REVOLUTIONISED THE PRODUCTION OF SUGAR BRISTOL. THIS WASN’T ABOLISHED UNTIL 1852, WHEN THE WITH HIS CENTRIFUGE METHOD. COMPLETION OF THE RAIL LINE TO LONDON OBVIOUSLY RESULTED IN CONFUSION. THE RESULTING ‘WASTE PRODUCT’, MOLASSES, WOULD THEN BE TRANSFORMED INTO RUM OR TREACLE, AND NO SMALL AMOUNT MEANWHILE, BRISTOL HAS MUCH HISTORICAL CONNECTION OF PROFIT WENT TO CHARITIES - UTTERLY UNHEARD OF AT THE TO ANOTHER PROUD PEOPLE - THOSE OF THE EMERALD TIME.

OF BRISTOL, QUEBEC, NOW RESIDES. AS IT HAPPENS, LIME CORDIAL DID NEXT TO NOTHING MEANWHILE, DOWN IN ONTARIO, SOME TRULY EXCELLENT TO PREVENT SCURVY, AN AFFLICTION OF WHICH WE’LL WHISKIES ARE PRODUCED, AND, AS A SYMBOL OF PRIDE FOR THE ASSUME NONE OF YOU ARE AT RISK, SO WE SAY OUR REGIONS, IN WHICH FRENCH AND ENGLISH SPEAKERS COEXIST CORDIAL SHOULD SIMPLY LEND A TOUCH OF ACIDITY AND HARMONIOUSLY DESPITE CONFLICTING UNITS OF MEASUREMENT, FRESHNESS - PRESERVED GOOSEBERRIES WILL DO NICELY.
