Greater Manchester\u2019s newest beer will soon be trickling down the throats of punters after arriving on the taps of local pubs.<\/p>\n

The cask ale, named \u2018Signo\u2019 is now available in pubs and bars across Rochdale<\/a>. The 4.5 per cent golden ale has been described as having a sweet flavour with hints of peach and apricot, along with a gentle citrus vibe and a subtle herbal note to finish.<\/p>\n

With a nod to Rochdale\u2019s heritage, the beer\u2019s name \u2018Signo\u2019 was inspired by the town\u2019s Latin motto featured on its coat of arms \u2013 \u2018Crede Signo\u2019, which translates as \u2018Trust in this sign.\u2019<\/p>\n

The inspiration behind Rochdale\u2019s latest tipple was celebrating the town\u2019s year as Greater Manchester Town of Culture.<\/p>\n

The award by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority highlights the creativity and diversity of one of Greater Manchester\u2019s towns, putting a spotlight on remarkable art, culture and heritage across the region.<\/p>\n

\u2018Signo\u2019 beer is now available at a number of pubs and bars across the borough, with more being added every week.<\/p>\n

Brewers who have joined forces to make the special edition beer are Wakey Wakey Brew Company, Twisted Mule Brewery and Tap House, Brid\u2019s Cross Brewing, the Serious Brewing Company and Whitworth Valley Brewing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis collaboration between local brewers, sharing their expertise, passion and creativity to craft a new exclusive ale in honour of our status as Greater Manchester Town of Culture certainly captures the essence of Rochdale\u2019s vibrant cultural identity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anthony Jones, from the Wakey Wakey Brew Company, added: \u201cThe spirit of collaboration which Rochdale is famous for is alive and well and it\u2019s been great to see local brewers working together to create this new beer, something memorable for residents and visitors.\u201d<\/p>\n
