To mark the 130th anniversary of one of Robinsons Brewery's longest-standing and most iconic beers, Unicorn, formerly known as Unicorn Best Bitter, will be available for just £1.30 in more than 170 Robinsons pubs across the North West and North Wales on Saturday 26th September, while stocks last.


Brewing in the heart of Stockport since 1838, Robinsons has built a reputation for producing quality cask ales, with Unicorn remaining at the heart of its brewing heritage. First brewed in September 1896, the beer has become a firm favourite among generations of drinkers and remains still one of the brewery's most popular pints.


What makes Unicorn really special is its recipe, that has remained unchanged for well over a century, preserving the character and quality that have made it a staple of pubs across Stockport and beyond.


September will be a month of celebration for the family brewer, with the anniversary offering beer lovers the chance to enjoy a pint of Unicorn for just £1.30. Robinsons will also be hosting a competition for 13 lucky winners to win limited-edition Stockport County football shirts from 1996-1997.


"Unicorn has been part of Robinsons’ story for over a century, enjoyed by generations of loyal customers in Stockport and far beyond. As we celebrate 130 years of this iconic British cask beer on Cask Ale Week, we wanted to invite our customers to join us for a £1.30 pint on the 26th September.”

Notes to Editors


For more than 185 years, Robinsons Brewery has been brewing beer in the heart of Stockport. What began with a handful of local Stockport pubs in the late 1800s has grown into one of the UK's leading independent family brewers, with around 250 pubs across the North West and Wales.


To celebrate Unicorn, one of the brewery's longest-standing beers, first brewed in 1896 and originally named Robinsons Best Bitter, Robinsons Brewery is offering pints for just £1.30 on 26 September to mark 130 years of the iconic ale, while stocks last.


The recipe for Unicorn has remained unchanged for more than a century. It was originally brewed by Frederic Robinson for his father, William, at the Unicorn Inn in Stockport, from which the beer eventually took its name. Today, Robinsons Brewery still stands on the same site.
