Madonna has had a beer named after her.

The honor was bestowed by brewers JW Lees, who have knocked up a batch of Material Girl Ale. The Manchester firm decided to commemorate her visit to the city and made a crateful for the first night of her Re-invention tour.

Bottles are labelled with a similar design to the Madonna’s Immaculate Collection greatest hits album.

The commemorative dark, fruity ale packs a big punch with a 7.5 per cent alcohol content.

Of course, that could also be somethin' I jes' imagined, as well. In my head, I have a hard time distinguishin' between what is real and what is imaginary. Kinda like my ... huh? Shut up!
