I believe in an Irish sense the definition of a craft beer is one which is not Guinness, Smithwicks, Budweiser, Carlsberg or Heineken. I've heard people giving out about pubs not stocking the minor beers like Miller or Coors.

I think the term your off licence would prefer is "specialty" or "world" beer -- you know, that weird foreign muck nobody drinks.
