Good morning, I don't know how many of our friends still will see this page...but in case you haven't heard already, the BitterSuite will be reopening under the Black Country Ales umbrella in early summer and I for one am delighted by the news...it may get renamed but I'm sure the community feel will remain as well as a great choice of ales...hope to see lots of you there soon...regards, Martin

A little poem written by Reid after our difficult decision....happiness and sadness in equal measure, I think.

A BitterSuite Goodbye

So here we are, the end of the line,
thinking thoughts of happier times.
The hardest part to which we cry,
is that we couldn’t say goodbye.

The brilliance of the thing we made,
by contrast now, swallowed in shade.
It wasn’t perfect, not by a mile,
but it was ours for a little while.

To all who joined us along the way,
you made it worth it every day.
I can safely claim, with honesty,
there’s nowhere I’d have rather been.

So, despite the tears on my ‘ugly crying face’
(thanks bill),
it’s the people that matter, not the place.
Though our end seems Bitter in defeat,
the memories we hold will always be Suite.

Unfortunately the BitterSuite has become another casualty of the current economic climate and we have had to make the difficult decision to close as of last night after the quiz.

Though we are all sad, we have to say it's been a pleasure to meet so many wonderful people and characters, most of whom have become firm friends. The whole team has thoroughly enjoyed our time meeting and serving you in our own unique way.

I'm sure we will see most of you in other venues and other places over the next few months.

Thanks for the memories everyone, they will stay with us always.

Take care and good health to you all.
