Honour ... Madge has beer named after her
MADONNA has had a beer named after her.
The honour was bestowed by brewers JW Lees, who have knocked up a batch of Material Girl Ale.
The Manchester firm decided to commemorate her visit to the city and made a crateful for the first night of her Re-invention tour.
Bottles are labelled with a similar design to the Madonna’s Immaculate Collection greatest hits album.
The commemorative dark, fruity ale packs a big punch with a 7.5 per cent alcohol content.
And judging by my picture it looks like Madge might have had a couple of bottles before her gig in Paris last night.

Beer goggles ... Madonna
Her wacky glasses would have been perfect to hide bloodshot eyes after a few bottles of the potent brew.
JW Lees, which makes its own brand of bitter, has now released a further 300 bottles of the tipple to meet demand from fans.
It’s definitely a lot more rock ’n’ roll than Kabbalah water.
A spokesperson for JW Lees said: “We brewed the ale to mark Madonna’s return to Manchester after ten years.
“She played the Hacienda in 1994 and we thought that it would be a good way to mark her first gig back in Manchester. We gave her a crate of bottles to drink backstage but we’re not sure if she tried it. We know she likes an ale and thought this one was a little bit special.”
Madge, a self-confessed Guinness drinker, enjoys a pint of the black stuff when in London with hubby GUY RITCHIE.
And booze seems to be playing an increasingly big part in her life at the moment.
I revealed last month that big-hearted Madge recently uncorked some of her vast wealth to save her father’s struggling wine business.
Madge stumped up a fruity £500,000 to prevent Ciccone Vineyard closing down — because Guy loved the family wine so much.
He is mad on Tony Ciccone’s 2002 Dolcetto and Pinot Noir wine.
I am told that the flavour of Material Girl Ale is “nutty.”
Rather like the person it’s named after, then? | |
