As much as I've come to want to visit "the isles" I've yet
to have the opportunity, so I can't speak to the British /
Scottish / Irish pub cuisine. Never one to shy away from a
good gravy or a spot of grease with my food, I might actually
have a taste for it!

I can, however, attest to certain knowledge that the owner
of the Brick Store is a most serious aficionado of the brewing
arts:
   His honeymoon vacation was spent Pub Crawling in Ireland.

(I know this transferred his family videos of the trip in
the course of working at Project Video in Avondale Estates.)
