It was time to try the Joules'a Brewery Beers

Slumbering Monk is a different and interesting dark ale, and, as the name suggests, rahter potent. 

Joule's is a new brewery and began seeling its beer in 2010. Bass closed the original brewery in 1974
- and its take over of this pub was locally controversial..
Francis Joule opened his brewery in Stone in 1780. Later it was managed by his grandson,
James Prescott Joule (1818-89) whose name is still used as the SI unit of energy.
