Description
Based in the heart of Stockport for almost two centuries, and owning around 260 tenanted and managed pubs, inns and hotels across the North West, ‘Robinsons’ is one of oldest and most respected names in British brewing history.

Robinsons took over Hartleys brewery in 1982, closing down the Ulverston plant in 1994 and transferring the Hartley brands to the Unicorn brewery. Robinsons bought the rights to the Ward brands in 2006 but subsequently sold some of those brands to Maxim Beer Co.

It's tastes like Manchester would taste if you could bottle it. (Tastes like R Kelly's sheets. .. piss)

Cask at Swan With Two Necks, Stockport. Pours straw coloured with a medium sized off-white foamy head and good lacing. The aroma is gentle sweetness with floral hops and barley sugar. In the mouth it is sweet with a creamy texture and a little bitterness. Floral hops and some hints of citrus in the flavour. Finish is slightly dry. This is reasonable, but a little bland.

Keg, half-pint in the beer garden of the Wynnstay Arms, Ruabon on 31st August 2024. Almost black bodied, very dark brown, tanned foam on top. Thought this a bit 'thin' and uninteresting. Malty but fairly bland throughout.

Keg half-pint in the beer garden of the Wynnstay Arms, Ruabon on 31st August 2024. Clear, bright golden pour, white crown. Light citrus and floral nose, taste followed the same lines with a slight malty sweetness also. It was the best of the three Robinsons beers I had at the place.

Hand-pulled half-pint in the beer garden of the Wynnstay Arms, Ruabon on 31st August 2024. Clean golden blonde with a snow white head that hung about for a while. It's a weak blend of pale malts and a few hop pellets, not up to much and I couldn't even finish the half-pint!
