Status Quo are rock and rolling out the barrel - by releasing their own brand of beer.
The rock veterans are ditching Marguerita time to Down Down a pint as they hope their ale will be a hit.
The stars - led by Rick Parfitt and Francis Rossi, who have been known for their own love of a tipple - are launching their Piledriver beer in more than 900 Wetherspoon pubs from today.
They teamed up with Wychwood Brewery to create the drink, named after their 1972 album.
Rossi said: "Music and beer go well together. Anyone denying that has never been to a gig - and certainly not a Quo show. We wanted to create something special for the fans - and us, of course - to enjoy. Piledriver is it."
Parfitt added: "Piledriver is renowned as one of those albums where it all went right: the chemistry was perfect and the fun flowed. Wychwood Brewery has helped us create a beer with the same ethos - and a huge gorilla as a truly arresting logo."
The group's Piledriver album is also being reissued as a deluxe edition on March 24.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
