James Clay and Sons

independent, family owned importers and distributors of craft and specialist beers from europe, the united states and worldwide. curation we don’t just import beers. we don't just move them from a to b. we go and find them, wherever they are in the world. and when we find them, we drink. and the ones we love stay found. they come home with us, and into the pubs, bars and bottle shops we work with. because our portfolio is not a product list, it’s a labour of love. it’s the heart and soul of the business. expertise when the business started there was just one man, ian clay. and he started this business because he knew great beer when he tasted it - and he wanted others to know too. in other words, he wanted to share his passion. and that’s still how we work today. we share beer, but we also share our knowledge, our expertise and our opinion on what makes for a great bottle, can, schooner or pint. for those customers who care about beer like we do, it’s all part of the service. conv
