A beer at Windsor and Eton Brewery has been re-named to mark the impending first child of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
The Vansittart Estate independent brewery has re-named its four per cent aromatic fruity ale Windsor Knot to Windsor Cot.
Brewers created the tipple to celebrate the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton in 2011.
Their first child is due to be born on Saturday next week in the Lindo Wing at St Mary's, Paddington where Diana gave birth to both Princes William and Harry.
There will only be 300 bottles of the limited edition beer made, while in pubs special pump clips with boy and girl toppers have been produced.
Head brewer Paddy Johnson, said samples would be sent to Windsor Castle and Clarence House for the royal family to taste and to the Middleton family in Bucklebury, Berkshire.
The brewery is also running a competition and anyone having a baby born in the Royal Borough on the same day as the royal couple will get two bottles of Windsor Cot.
