Elbow to Launch 'Build a Rocket Boys!' Beer

Elbow have announced they're launching their own beer. Named after their recent album 'Build a Rocket Boys!', the limited edition cask ale will get its official launch at the Manchester Food and Drink festival in October.

The self-professed "supporters of traditional British real ale" have joined forces with brewery Robinsons of Stockport to create a beer "brewed to Elbow's own specifications after a series of tastings," says the band's website.

According to their post, they say, "Band members sampled a range of Robinsons' ales to shortlist their preferred style of beer, taste and colour before deciding on a golden ale with a rich rounded body, smooth bitterness, subtle tang of malt and fruity aroma."

Due to be made available during September and October in selected Robinson pubs and also to students in the North West of England during university Freshers' Weeks, the 4.0 percent ABV brew is expected to sell out fast.
