New brew for Stoke-on-Trent's 100th anniversary celebrations
New brew for city's 100th anniversary celebrations Just now Share Save Richard Price BBC News, West Midlands Share Save Stoke-on-Trent City Council Lord Mayor Lyn Sharpe helped unveil the new brew which celebrates 100 years of Stoke-on-Trent A 40-year-old brewery in Stoke-on-Trent is preparing a special ale to help mark to the city's centenary. Titanic Brewery, based in Burslem, teamed up with the city council to produce the limited edition beer which will be available in bottles, cans and on cask in pubs across the county. Labels and pump clips for Century Anniversary Ale are set to feature the bottle kilns, which the city's skyline is famous for. A portion of the proceeds from each sale will go to the Titanic Brewery Foundation, which supports charities across the region. The celebrations mark 100 years since Stoke-on-Trent obtained city status from King George V in 1925, as the monarch recognised the area's contribution to the pottery industry. Events and activities planned to mark the anniversary include a parade, tea party, hunt to find 100 stories and a giant oatcake card. Lord Mayor of Stoke-on-Trent Lyn Sharpe, who was named Campaign for Real Ale's (Camra) national campaigner of the year in 2017, used to work at Titanic Brewery as a tour guide. "Visitors loved learning about what happens to some simple ingredients in a brewery and how they're turned into a beautiful pint of beer for you to enjoy in your local pub," she said. Stoke-on-Trent City Council Lyn Sharpe was formerly a tour guide at Titanic Brewery Ms Sharpe added: "Stoke-on-Trent's brewing heritage has played a proud role in our first 100 years, and this ale is a fantastic way to toast our centenary. "The designs on the pump clips mean that pub goers across the region will learn about our centenary and be able to raise a glass to this historic year." The initial brewing process took about a day to complete, and involved bringing together the four key ingredients of beer - water, hops, malted barley and yeast. The yeast then fermented the liquid over several days. David Glenwright, from Titanic Brewing, said: "We are genuinely honoured to be working with the city council to produce this commemorative ale, celebrating both the city's centenary, and our own 40th anniversary." He said the centenary was a "momentous occasion" and they were excited to toast this "incredible city and its people". Follow BBC Stoke & Staffordshire on BBC Sounds, Facebook, X and Instagram.

Super Bowl food prices: What's higher & what's cheaper?
(CBS NEWSPATH) — Super Bowl Sunday is second only to Thanksgiving when it comes to the amount of food Americans eat. Prices for many party foods are higher this year, but some are actually cheaper. The Titanic Brewery and Restaurant in Miami is gearing up for the big game and chicken wings are at the top of the menu. 'We get a lot of phone calls for to-go orders and a group will call and say 'I need a hundred wings can you do it?' and we make sure we're ready to do it,' owner Kevin Rusk said. Recent rise in egg prices tied to bird flu, limitations placed on shoppers Over the past decade, wings have exploded in popularity and so have wholesale prices. 'People will find this funny but chicken wings are more expensive than chicken breast, chicken breast is all meat but because of the demand in the market wings are higher than breast meat,' Rusk said. Consumers are also feeling the pinch. According to a new report, shoppers buying raw wings at the store are paying 7% more than a year ago. 'Chicken wings continue to be a fan favorite before, during and after the Super Bowl,' Wells Fargo Agricultural Economist Michael Swanson said. Swanson added that guacamole is also a fan favorite, and demand is pushing up the price of avocados. 'We're seeing avocados up about 11% from a year ago this time,' Swanson said. Beer prices are up just two percent from last year and prices for some other party favorites have actually gone down. Tortilla chips, nacho cheese dip, potato chips and frozen pizza are all less than last year. Even though wings are more expensive, the celery on the side has dropped more than 8%. Gilbert Martinez is the assistant general manager at Miami's American Social Bar and Restaurant and is expecting a packed house for the game. 'We're going to make as many people happy as possible,' Martinez said. 'Its football, you gotta have beer and it's gotta be cold and the wings have to be piping hot and fresh and you can never run out.' That's why he will have 2,000 wings on hand to feed hundreds of hungry fans. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
