Thoughts on local beers to take overseas for trade.

Hey guys, long time reader; just recently joined.
I'm heading over to Scotland in a few weeks to the (very small)town where i grew up(until i was 10). I've just discovered that a nano-brewery has opened there, and got in contact with them saying i was looking forward to trying all of their stuff. I was thinking it would be a cool idea to bring over a bunch of local/ontario beer and spread the love. I've got a few things in mind to take, just looking for everyone's inspired suggestions!??
The brewery is called Tempest brewing, and they only sell in their own pub(The Cobbles) and a few kegs make it to Edinburgh and Glasgow, but that's about it. They seem to have some interesting things, a chipotle porter for instance.
Anyways, i've got a few bottles of Amsterdam Tempest in the basement, so figured that would be an obvious choice, due to the name. I was also thinking of Mill St. cobblestone, for the same reason, even though the beer is nothing special. Camerons RPA since I think it's maybe the best readily available ontario beer out there. The only other obvious choices were something from each of Wellington and F&M since I live in Guelph now.
Any suggestions welcome guys, thanks.
