VISITORS to a popular market will be able to enjoy a taste of "summer in a glass" with the unveiling of the event’s official craft beer.

The Blood Orange IPA has been created by McColl’s Brewery and will be available at the Orange Pip Market in Middlesbrough later this month.

It will be on sale in many of the micropubs in the Baker and Bedford Street areas for the first market of the year on Saturday, April 28, and throughout the summer.

Danny McColl, owner of the Teesdale-based brewery, said: “We have been fans of Orange Pip for ages and your mind goes off on a tangent and you think ‘surely they need an Orange Pip beer?

"We are always up for experimenting at the brewery," he added.

Middlesbrough’s Deputy Mayor Charlie Rooney, said: “Orange Pip Market has been a huge success and has brought all sorts of wonderful artisan food produce to Middlesbrough - we hope people enjoy it."
