For a quart of ale is a dish for a king

Rogue Shakespeare Stout, Oregon: Ebony in color, a rich creamy head, and a mellow chocolate finish
Samuel Smiths' Organic Nut Brown Ale, Yorkshire, England: A festive-occasion beer, brown ale is one of the oldest English brewing styles, mentioned in literature in the 16th century. Beers brewed at the old brewery have a round, nutty flavor because of the Yorkshire square system of fermentation.

Grendel's Den has hand picked a selection of appropriate craft brews that invoke The Bard:

Hopback Brewery Summer Lightening, Salisbury, England: An extremely pleasant bitter, straw coloured beer with a terrific fresh, hoppy aroma. This, coupled with an intense bitterness, leads to an excellent long, dry finish.
Lurgashall Mead, Petworth, England: Beloved of Queen Elizabeth I, Metheglin is a sweet honey mead infused with a complex blend of herbs and spices
