Beer at the Arden Arms
Our beer is supplied by the famous independent Stockport Brewery
, Robinsons. Our high standards ensure that all the range of beer
sold is kept in excellent condition. The quality of our beer is
reflected in the inclusion of the Arden Arms in the Campaign for
Real Ale national guide, no small achievement in Stockport where
there is stiff competition from many good pubs. |
In addition to the beers listed below which are always available,
we also offer Robinsons seasonal brews including Robin, Lighthouse,
Sunny Jim and others. Old Tom is always available in the bottle,
but in keeping with Stockport tradition we also serve it on draught
in December and January.
