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.

Aus der Flasche im 2025-03 getrunken. Diese Ale erinnert deutlich an ein klassisches leichten britischen Ale. Alle sehr leichte Aromen ohne aufdringlich zu sein wodurch man sicherlich am Abend mehr als ein Bier trinken könnte. Allerdings hat es auch nichts womit es länger in Erinnerungen bleibt.

Aus der Flasche im 2025-03 getrunken. Diese Ale zeigt ein typischen britischen IPA Charakter mit eine moderaten Hopfenbitterkeit und einer etwas versteckten Grapefruit Aroma. Sehr gut trinkbar!
