Announcing Beggars Bridge Brewery and the first brew: Chocoholic Stout

Since my first extract brew is conditioning at the moment, I thought I would put a little more effort into my beer presentation. I have not named my previous beers and the only labelling I did was with a hand held label printer.
I called my stout, Chocoholic Stout.
This time I have made up a brewery name and named my chocolate stout.
So look out world, the Beggars Bridge Brewery has arrived. The name comes from the town in which I live, Rochfortbridge in Westmeath (Ireland). The original name of the town was Beggars Bridge. I believe it was so called as it was a crossing point during the famine for people from the west to the richer east coast and Dublin. It also may have been called that because it (the bridge) was designed by a beggar. I think it was a toll bridge too.
Anyway I have printed up some labels for my beer so I will have a more professional look at the next ICB meet up next month.
