I wonder how they make it that strong?

Good grief. Is that really necessary? In fact, is that really beer?!

Sounds interesting, I like the way they suggest it should be served in fractions of a gill rather than half-pints. As I recall there was a lovely strong beer (strong beer ... not compare to this, hah!) on sale at the Mitre when we were there for Hannah's DPhil graduation, and they could only sell it in halves (but they didn't say you couldn't buy more than one at a time for yourself). Sadly I forget which one it was ...

I had a look at their website (over Tony's shoulder) and was rather put off by the air of smug pretentiousness. Not that strong beer is my thing, anyway...
