THE Black Country Living Museum has launched its own ale, named after its historic pub.

Brewed by Lye based brewery Sadler’s, the new 4.3 per cent ale is named after the museum's 239-year-old Bottle & Glass Inn, which previously stood in Stourbridge before it was rebuilt at the Tipton Road tourist attraction.

The attraction has previously stocked various drinks from Sadler's including last year’s Peaky Blinder, a 4.6 per cent Black IPA - inspired by the BAFTA-nominated series filmed at the museum.

Nicola Rowe, retail and admissions manager at the Black Country Living Museum, said: “We’re very excited to be able to introduce this wonderful, truly local ale.

"Visitors will be able to enjoy it either on site in the pub that inspired it, or at home when purchased from our gift shop."

Ian King, sales director at Sadler’s Brewery, said: “We’re very pleased to supply this wonderful local ale to the Black Country Living Museum and we hope their visitors enjoy drinking it as much as we enjoyed making it.”

All proceeds from sales of the ale, described as a 'truly English golden best bitter’ and made with hops grown in Worcester, will go back to the museum which showcases 300 years of Black Country history.

Bottle & Glass Ale is available to buy at the museum for £3.95 (or three for £9.95) at the gift shop.
