Good job it wasn't more-ish, cos I'm back there tonight and the beer has gone!
Starting on the staff collabs - strongest of which seems to be a blood orange triple IPA 11.7%. Sounds like it'd be right up your street, Mick.

OK, left to right in the (first) picture: Torrside Valour 1917 Imperial Stout 7.7% (£6.90/pint); Boutilliers/Shakespeares "You Have Deaded Me" Bloody Orange IPA 11.7% (£9/pint); Beatnikz Republic/Shakespeares "Bass Hero" quad hopped IPA 6.3% (£4.80/pint); Blue Bee/Shakespeares "Wheels of Confusion" Black IPA 6.0% (£6.00/pint). Total £10.05.
Pump clips and descriptions for the three collabs also attached. (The black IPA was more to my taste than the other two, which were both too unbalanced IMHO.)
Beer of the week was a toss-up between Valour from Torrside and their very good 9.5% Kneel Before Grod, this one an oak-smoked imperial porter. Valour gets the nod for being deceptively drinkable.

Generally speaking, I would regard many of those prices as outrageous even locally. The strongest PINT I had was a Mikkelerr 18.9% Triple American IPA in the Brodies King William IV well over five years ago. I've got a burn scar on my right arm from my shambolic attempts to heat a meal when I got home! I remember some of the locals staring at me as though I was some sort of circus act!
Serves you right for drinking a whole PINT @ 18.9%!!! (Shakespeare's were selling the Taxi Vader 20% in halves and thirds only.)
Come On You Hatters!
