00:22A few interesting little knick-knacks and stuff in there, isn't there?

00:24Yeah, so obviously you've got your real ale that everyone enjoys.

00:26We do a lot of craft ales, from IPAs to sour beers to imperial stouts.

00:31It's just a small little pub, get to know everybody, it's a nice little atmosphere.

00:44Yeah, yeah, absolutely, some really old stuff, some stuff from World War II times and stuff,

00:47which the owner has bought out of his own money and they really add to the place.

01:03Yeah, yeah.

01:04And then, tipple of the moment then, what seems to be going down well?

01:08So we've just had the Chiffon Ale Trail, which did really well for us,

01:11which we used Oswestry's Stonehouse Brewery, it was their flip side, it was a 4.6 IPA.
