JW Lees head brewer Giles Dennis is such an ardent Manchester United fan that he has brewed Number 15 Ale to welcome new signing Nemanja Vidic. The name of the beer relates to the player's shirt.

Robinson's Enigma (4.7%) is available until the end of February. The chestnut-coloured, hoppy ale is the first of six specials that will appear every two months this year.
