If there is a heaven for beer lovers then you should probably end up here when you shuffle off the mortal coil, i have never seen so much beer in my life! there is everything here you could possibly get your mitts on! the real ale selection is phenomenal and the beers from the rest of the world range is one of the biggest ive seen! checkout the Kwak with its glass and stand that needs a deposit should you control over glass be overcome by gravity.
