Trooper Original

Legendary beer. Legendary band. A true British classic. Trooper Original is the iconic beer born from the collaboration between Robinsons Brewery and Iron Maiden, inspired by one of the band's most celebrated songs. Developed with the direct involvement of vocalist Bruce Dickinson, an experienced beer enthusiast and former commercial pilot, Trooper is far more than a licensed novelty. It is a carefully crafted premium British ale that has become one of the world's most successful music-inspired beers, enjoyed by rock fans and beer lovers alike. Brewed in Cheshire by Robinsons, one of Britain's oldest family breweries, Trooper stays true to the traditions of classic English ale while adding its own distinctive personality. A blend of premium British malts creates a rich biscuit and caramel backbone, while carefully selected English hops deliver floral, citrus, and subtle earthy notes. The result is exceptionally well balanced—full of flavour without ever becoming heavy, making it a beer that's as enjoyable in the pub as it is at home. For fans in Ireland, Trooper offers the perfect meeting point between two icons of British culture. Whether you're discovering it because of Iron Maiden or simply looking for an outstanding traditional ale, it delivers authenticity, craftsmanship, and a story that extends well beyond the label. Why we love it: Trooper succeeds because it never relies solely on the Iron Maiden name. Bruce Dickinson worked closely with Robinsons' brewers to create a beer worthy of both the band and Britain's brewing heritage. The result is a wonderfully balanced ale that offers genuine character, excellent drinkability, and enough malt and hop complexity to satisfy traditional ale enthusiasts while remaining approachable for newcomers.
