Stockport Gin Testimonial Gin Launch Event

Stockport Gin Distillery are incredibly proud to announce the launch of the official Ben Hinchliffe Testimonial Gin - a special edition spirit created to celebrate the testimonial year of one of Stockport County’s greatest ever players.

After an incredible 10 record-breaking years at County, Ben has become a true club legend both on and off the pitch. To mark the occasion, they have worked closely with Ben to create a gin that reflects his own personal taste and style.

Produced at Stockport Gin, this classic London Dry Gin combines fresh berry botanicals with classic earthy juniper to create a crisp, fruit-forward gin with a clean, dry finish. Inspired by Ben’s love of mixed berry flavours, the recipe has been carefully developed to deliver a smooth, refreshing and easy-drinking gin while still staying true to a traditional London Dry style.

A donation from every bottle sold will be made to Ben’s Testimonial Fund, which also supports his chosen charity, BeeU.

Stockport FC Testimonial Match

Come and join us at the pre-season 2026 game against Preston North End to mark academy graduate Ben Hinchliffe's Testimonial.

It’s the end of an era at Edgeley Park, with County’s legendary goalkeeper Ben Hinchliffe set to depart the club this summer after an incredible ten years at Edgeley Park - an outstanding contribution which will be celebrated in a testimonial

Preston North End, at Edgeley Park on Saturday 1st August, 3pm.

The 38-year-old is set to depart the club this summer following the expiration of his contract, meaning this will be the final time he steps out in front of the Cheadle End as a County player. It promises to be an emotional afternoon in tribute to a special player who has dedicated so much of his career to the success of our club.
He departs as the most decorated player in our history, having won three league titles across 427 appearances during his time here, and we'd love for you all to come and join us at the game to bid a fond farewell to a true County great.

Tickets are now available for purchase through the Stockport County website, here

A donation from every bottle sold will be made to Ben’s Testimonial Fund, which also supports his chosen charity, BeeU.
