🍻 HOPPERCAST EPISODE 9In this chaotic, controversial and beer-soaked episode of HopperCast, I dive headfirst into the madness of modern brewing.

🍻 S1: I revisit Lucifer and Beelzebub from Dog’s Window Brewery — beers so good, they made my pipes warm and my soul cry with joy.
🫥 S2: I rant about breweries that hide their hop details. If your can says “tastes like cake” but doesn’t list a single hop — you’re mugging us off.
🍆 S3: I taste Proper Job, Big Job and the 0% version… and emotionally damage myself in the process.
🤢 S5: The Would You Drink This? section returns — featuring spit-fermented corn beer, bull testicle stout, and yes, a sour made with vaginal yeast.
🎸 S6: Band beer bollocks. From Trivium’s undrinkable Ascendancy, to Bullet For My Valentine’s oddly decent The Poison.
🐩 S8: BrewDog’s journey from punk rebellion to corporate cosplay.
🎙️ S9: Why The Hopper Reviews is different — brutal honesty, mild trauma, and no face required.
🥴 Final Segment: My dream collab beer. A £20, 20% imperial stout called Hopper Out for The Count.

🍻 HOPPERCAST EPISODE 8

In Episode 8 of The Hoppercast, I’m cracking open a conversation that’s splitting the beer world right down the middle.

Are fruit beers a fun, modern twist that keeps beer evolving?
Or are they a sticky, over-flavoured sugar rush dragging beer into soft drink territory?

I dig into Gen Z drinking trends, the rise of tropical lagers and bubblegum gins, and how we Gen X drinkers have watched it all unfold — with a pint of bitter in hand and a raised eyebrow.

This episode’s got strong opinions, cheeky metaphors, and a few swipes at CAMRA for good measure.
Let’s find out if fruit beers are the future… or just fruit salad in a can.

Hopper out.

🍻 HOPPERCAST EPISODE 7 This week I’m cracking open the strange world of Alcohol Free beer — how it’s made, why most of it tastes a bit like hoppy bathwater, and which breweries are actually getting it right.

This episode kicks off my 0% Alcohol, 100% Honest series. I’m reviewing Alcohol Free beers as their own category — not pretending they’re full-strength pints — and I’ve created a custom scoring system to keep it fair and brutally honest.
