About Robinsons Brewery & TROOPER
Robinsons Brewery (Frederic Robinson Ltd.) has brewed in Stockport, Greater Manchester since 1838, remaining a proud, family-owned independent across six generations. The brewery’s cask-led heritage champions balance, drinkability and British brewing tradition, values that underpin the TROOPER range created with Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson. Launched in 2013, TROOPER quickly became a global success and today is exported widely, with cumulative sales counted in the tens of millions of pints. That popularity stems from a simple idea executed with precision: honour classic British ale character while keeping the flavour crisp, refreshing and unmistakably moreish.
Trooper Original, the flagship 4.7% Premium British Ale, showcases English brewing ingredients and restraint – biscuity malts, citrus-bright hops, a clean ferment, and a moderate bitterness that invites the next sip. Over the years, the collaboration has expanded to seasonal and special releases, but the core remains a beacon for fans who want traditional British flavour brewed to modern standards. Robinsons’ consistency and cellaring expertise ensure Trooper pours perfectly whether on cask in a pub or via your home PerfectDraft machine. Awards and acclaim have followed across the range, while the brewery continues investing in quality, sustainability and community initiatives in the North-West of England. For fans of Iron Maiden, British beer, or simply well-made golden ales, Trooper Original is a reliable, characterful choice that anchors any PerfectDraft rotation.

Who it’s for
Perfect for classic ale drinkers who value balance and subtlety over extremes, Maiden fans building a themed bar, and hosts who want a dependable craft beer delivered option that suits mixed crowds.
