Loyal subjects can toast the wedding of Prince William and
Catherine Middleton in style thanks to a partnership between two
Stoke-on-Trent companies.
Titanic Brewery has launched a Royal Ale to commemorate April's
wedding celebrations and has worked with Wade Ceramics to produce a
limited edition ceramic bottle into which a special version of the
fine, golden beer will be hand bottled and wax sealed.
Just 150 of this limited edition of Titanic ceramic bottles -
will be produced by Wade in Stoke-on-Trent, the home of the Pottery
industry.
"The Stoke-on-Trent ceramic industry has a long tradition of
celebrating royal occasions with specially made pottery," said
Keith Bott, Managing Director of Titanic Brewery.
"While brewing a Royal Ale in honour of our future King and
Queen, we felt we could also celebrate a great British industry by
commissioning unique bottles from a Stoke-on-Trent pottery.
"It is our intention to produce other limited edition Wade
ceramic bottles to mark special occasions in the future."
The first of the limited edition Royal Wedding bottles will be
presented for charitable fund raising purposes to civic leaders in
Stoke-on-Trent and to the Donna Louise Hospice Charity.
Paul Farmer Managing Director of Wade said - "I think this is a
great opportunity for two of this city's businesses to combine
forces in commemorating this very special occasion.
All at Wade look forward to working with Titanic on other
exciting projects in the near future."
There will be a chance to purchase remaining bottles via Titanic
Brewery, Lingard Street, Burslem, Stoke on Trent or from any of the
five Titanic pubs in Stoke on Trent, Stone and Stafford or from
Utobeer in London and a small number of agents across the UK.
Titanic Brewery club members who are now entering their second
year of membership will also receive a bottle.
A draught version of Titanic Royal Ale will also be released on
draught in Titanic Brewery's five Staffordshire pubs and throughout
the many hostelries of the midlands and north west who offer their
award winning ales.
