Burslem-based Titanic Brewery is brewing a special ale in honour of the City of Stoke-on-Trent’s centenary.

Called the Centenary Anniversary Ale, the traditional amber ale will be on sale in public houses throughout the Potteries. The Lord Mayor, Councillor Lyn Sharp, visited the brewery recently.

During her visit, she said Stoke-on-Trent’s brewing heritage had played a proud role in the city’s first 100 years.

A spokesperson for JD Wetherspoons confirmed that all its public houses in Staffordshire would stock the ale.
