In the chronicles of the history of beer, it is recorded that St. Ides was a Black Irishman, born in the town of Ballyspitoon in approximately 500 BC. Legend reports that his coracle went adrift on account of a fire hydrant which had been left open by local children, and as a result he found himself adrift, and ultimately washed ashore on the coast of Vinland, or, as it was known in his day, the United States of America.

  • In the chronicles of the history of beer, it is recorded that St. Ides was a Black Irishman, born in the town of Ballyspitoon in approximately 500 BC. Legend reports that his coracle went adrift on account of a fire hydrant which had been left open by local children, and as a result he found himself adrift, and ultimately washed ashore on the coast of Vinland, or, as it was known in his day, the United States of America. Resigned to this fate, he devoted his life to preaching the Gospel. He converted the Bostonian Celtics, but, since Christianity had not yet been invented, he had to convert them to Roman Catholicism as the next best thing. His curiously wrought shoe, confected from canvas and caoutchouc, is preserved in the Shrine of St. Ides at the Cathedral Church of the Seven Lucky Devils in Worcester, Massachusetts. Pilgrims resort to the shrine of St. Ides' Shoe hoping to be healed of delirium tremens.
