Rock band Elbow launches own beer

Rock band Elbow have launched their own beer, to be sold at Robinsons pubs around the UK.

The golden ale will be called Build a Rocket Boys and is named after the band's latest album.

The 4% ABV beer, which is described as having "a rich, rounded body, smooth bitterness, subtle tang of malt and fruity aroma" will launch at Manchester Food and Drink festival in October.

The band, headed by Guy Garvey, claim on their website to be "proud supporters of traditional British real ale".
