What's the real reason Irish pubs don't have more craft beers available?

A Beer & Wine & Spirits version boards beers that end up with nobody actually having beer. We pick a pub all walk into it on one weekend ask for a craft and leave when they don't have it

When I'm travelling around the country, I've taken to looking up the Beoir Directory of pubs that stock Craft Beers, going to a pub (if there is one in the town) and making a point of telling them that the express reason that I'd gone there was for the craft beer.

For example, I found that in Kilkenny the only place to stock anything decent was the Grapevine Tappas bar. I found on the Dungarvan Brewing site (Beoir directory needs updating here) that they stock their beers. I went in ordered a Black Rock Stout and some food and made a point of letting them know that the only reason I chose to eat there was because of the beer.

There's something like 70 pubs in Kilkenny and only one wine bar has proper beer!!!!!!??????:mad::mad::mad::mad:

I was just about to but then realised that it is in there under restaurants which is an accurate description, really.
But I suppose we could call it a bar too, at a push.
