We’re excited to introduce our newly revamped website designed to enhance your journey through the world of beer, cider, and perry.
Try the new siteThroughout much of November and December and across several branch areas, we are once again running the Winter Warmer Wander, our annual celebration of festive beers, to bring you a little winter cheer across the Christmas period. This is a chance for you to visit some new pubs and try some new beers. We have lots of great prizes – and different ways to win them.
When selecting your beers, please remember that the reasoning behind the Winter Warmer Wander is to promote particular beer styles – stout, porter, old ale and barley wine (all of any alcoholic strength), and ‘Christmas’ or ‘seasonal’ ales, brought out especially for the Christmas period, such as Tom & Berry, Plum Pudding or Sixex, of strength 4.4% ABV or above. The launch trail starts at the Northumberland Arms, Marple Bridge 18:30 on the 18th November taking in several pubs using local buses and ends up in central Stockport around 21:30.
A special mention goes to Robinsons Brewery, and Old Tom in particular, for sponsoring this year's Winter Warmer Wander. All successful participants will receive a bottle of Old Tom and an Old Tom commemorative badge. Please see website for details on pubs prizes and sticker sheets.
