In 2013, Iron Maiden collaborated with Robinson's brewery to create Trooper beer, the first in a series of beers named after one of the band's best-known songs: "The Trooper."
Bruce Dickinson, vocalist and leader of Iron Maiden, actively participated in the brewing of the beer. All of them do not lack Eddie The Head, the iconic skeleton of the band, who appears on labels and badges to the joy of collectors and fans of Iron Maiden.
Iron Maiden have been at the forefront of rock music worldwide for over three decades. Maiden is one of Britain's most influential and revered bands, with nearly 90 million album sales, more than 2,000 live shows in 58 countries and 15 studio albums described by critics as having "unfailing quality and power".
Robinsons has been brewing beers for over a decade, and has been a major contributor to the band's success.
Robinsons has been brewing award-winning beers at its Unicorn Brewery in Stockport for 175 years. Best known for its legendary 'Old Tom' stout, which was voted 'Best Beer in the World' by the international publication Beers of the World.

This partnership works for both of us. Music and beer are a great pleasure for the senses in their own right, but the combination is a powerful one. Authentic collaborations like this are invaluable because it shows that the world of real ale is more than just brewing, it's a fine art by the people who brew it, and for the people, who drink it.
Malt flavours and citric notes for a unique blend of Bobek, Goldings and Cascade hops give this deep golden ale a subtle hint of lemon.
Marries together familiar American hoppy flavours with a fundamentally British backbone.
