I look forward to Helen's review in due course! I presume you will be stocking craft beers...

Re: Introducing the Berwick Brown Bear (none / 1)

CAMRA's definition of LocAle is beer produced within 30 miles, which is difficult as there are only 4 breweries which meet the criterion and none of them are considered top rank breweries.

So I imagine they'll be ranging further afield as well.

Re: Introducing the Berwick Brown Bear (none / 1)

Ah, I just noticed that you said craft beers. Craft beer is a term without an accepted definition although the Oxford English Dictionary does offer this;-

'craft beer (also craft brew) noun (US) a beer with a distinctive flavour, produced and distributed in a particular region.'

The problem with this is that this definition could include the products of mega-keggeries such as Budweiser (US) or Carlsberg. I'm sure craft beers will be sold, but I'd hope that Real Ale (which has a very solid definition) will be their primary product.

I tend to drink lagers when abroad and Guinness in Ireland, so I used a looser more generic term. Real Ale, like warm beer is more a British tradition, although micro breweries are springing up all over Ireland now.
