Default Need to indirectly reference columns 26 using A1 notation based on numeric column number- how to?

A1 notation is the standard for our organization, so I'm looking for an
answer that maintains A1 notation.

I have a cell that contains a number (20 to 115 or higher). I need to pull a
value from the associated column.

So, I have a reference cell B1 that contains the number 27, and I need the
number in row 11.. I start my destination cell formula with:
=indirect("AA" & "11")

Now I need to replace the "AA" with a link to the source cell (B1,
containing the number 27), but transmute the number so that it returns
columns T through however many columns are used (AA, AF, BR, etc.). What is
the best way to do this if forced to maintain A1 notation?

=indirect(what_goes_here(B1) & "11")

Thanks!
Keith

Thanks Bob!
I may use the offset option provided by another poster, but this is what I
had been attempting to do- no way I could have figured your formula out by
myself!
