The brilliant Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester has an area put aside for displays about specific communities in the city. When we visited (this weekend — we’ve just got back) it was Wythenshawe’s turn. Because the Channel 4 show Shameless is filmed there, they had a display of costumes and props from the show, including some brilliant fake beer cans.
Anyone fancy a Stelberg Louis or an Ashbury Export?
We’ve written about fictional beer before and we’re not the only ones who are fascinated by this kind of thing.
Lots more on Manchester to follow in the next day or two.

I’ve moved on to being fascinated by the canned beer Coronation street characters drink at home.
They probably had an exhibition about that round the corner at Granada Studios.
Bizarrely, I’m sure the Shameless pub (The Jockey?) once had Adnam’s Old Ale on handpull – a real continuity mess-up if ever there was?
