MANCHESTER brewer JW Lees has "got into the groove" by brewing a special one-off batch of ale for Madonna to celebrate her return to the city.

Named Material Girl Ale, the bottled brew was delivered to Madonna this week to mark her shows at Manchester's MEN Arena tomorrow and Sunday.

William Lees-Jones, JW Lees managing director, said: "We remember Madonna's gig in Manchester at the Hacienda two decades ago and we wanted to mark the occasion with something a bit special.

"We're hoping to get a couple of cases of it back stage so she can wet her whistle after the show."
