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.

From bottle at Remko's Bierproefavond. Didn't take notes, just enjoyed nice beers and good company. What I do remember: Trooper Original, 4.7% ABV. Nice bitterness, Typical British.

Refreshing and drinkable but with small metallic note and of course they could add more Amarillo! :) Cheers!

Can picked up in a ten pack from Pentrich and posted to and shared with my dad, Monday 13th October 2925 after a very nice couple of hours in Stockport with Keef Mullin and son Carl. Pours light gold almost straw in colour with a nice soft textured white head. A little pithy citrus but very subtle, nice easy drinking beer.

A seasonal black stout at night to celebrate the debut of season one of 'Knight Rider', 43 years ago this very evening. The kit at Robinsons Brewery has produced a light sweetish-coffee taste, but a more classic coffee aroma for this brew. At an easy strength you could certainly palate more than one of this at a time

Cask at Red Cow, Nantwich (not listed on Brewver). Pours golden amber with a small foamy off-white head and good lacing. The aroma is muted – just hints of traditional hops and malts. In the mouth it is quite bitter with a decidedly creamy texture. Flavour has traditional hops, marmalade and grains. Later on some underlying caramel sweetness can be detected. Finish is somewhat dry. This is decent.
