STOCKPORTB E E R T O W N

C a s k A l e P u b s i n S t o c k p o r t T o w n C e n t r e

For anyone interested in beer, pubs and breweries, Stockport really is one of Britain’s best Beer Towns.

Robinsons have been brewing here since 1838 and you can take a tour of the present brewery to see the old alongside the new. Several other breweries came and went over the years and in more recent times, a few micro-breweries set up close to the Town Centre. Some have now moved elsewhere or closed, but Remedy Brewhouse in the Market Place and Fool Hardy Ales at the Hope Inn remain in production.

In the small area covered by this leaflet, you can find over 30 pubs and bars pouring around 80 different cask ales from across the nation. Not only is there a huge selection of beers, but you can also enjoy your drink in all sorts of establishments - from music bars and micro-pubs to community ale-houses and nationally important heritage inns.

Stockport has it all; it’s a premier league Beer Town. Come along and enjoy the scene – and don’t forget to tell all your friends about it.
