They seem to do an irish style stout, and I guess they are near you? Possibly wont have the stout at this time of year though.

The great thing about proper beer is the variety, that you can go to any decent pub (in my opinion, to be decent, a pub should have at least one handpump of good beer) and may find beers that you have never tasted before. From sweet rich porters to malty bitters, light and hoppy summer beer, so many different types, flavours etc.
