Elbow have revealed that they will launch their new limited edition beer 'Build A Rocket Boys' at this year's Manchester food and drink festival.

The band, who released their latest album 'Build A Rocket Boys' in March, have described themselves as ''proud supporters of tradition British real ale".

The limited edition beer will launch at this year's Manchester food and drink festival from 7-17 October.

In an interview with XFM, Elbow described the beer as ''golden ale with a rich rounded body, smooth bitterness, subtle tang of malt and fruity aroma".

Elbow joined the likes of U2, Coldplay and Morrissey at this year's Glastonbury festival. For more information about Glastonbury and all this summer's festivals, check out the Gigwise Festival Guide.
