Just when you thought Nottingham's very own Vicky McClure couldn't get any cooler, the Line of Duty star gets her own beer.
The new tipple, a golden summer ale, has been launched by city-based brewery Castle Rock and was created to match the 36-year-old's tastes and "complement warm sunny evenings".
A life-long Notts County fan, Vicky has asked for part of the drinks sales to be donated to the club's Football in the Community charity.
As part of the beer's launch, a free Evening With... event has been organised at one of the brewery's boozers on Thursday, August 1.
In The Spotlight: Vicky McClure will take place at The Embankment from 5pm-8pm and include a question and answer session with the Bafta-winning Wollaton actress, a charity auction and a meet and greet.
All tickets have now sold out with Lewis Townsend, Castle Rock’s marketing manager, surprised and delighted at how well things have gone.
He says: “We put an initial allocation of tickets on sale on Friday night and they had all gone by Saturday morning. I spoke to the Embankment and we were able to increase the amount of tickets available, but these too went by Saturday evening.
“We’re expecting a fantastic, busy event with lots of money raised for charity. Visitors to the Embankment will be able to enjoy our brand new beer to celebrate Vicky McClure and there will be an opportunity to meet Vicky and ask her a question”
BBC Radio Nottingham’s Mark Dennison will compere the evening with Vicky bringing some Line of Duty and This is England memorabilia including an original This is England poster.
