🍻 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.

If you’ve ever wanted to laugh, gag, and learn all at the same time — this is your episode.

🍻 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.

🍻 HOPPERCAST EPISODE 6 In this episode of the HopperCast, I take a deep, slightly bitter look at BrewDog — the brand that launched a thousand craft beer careers… and maybe just as many controversies.

From squirrel beer and solid gold can scams to the hop oil revolution that ruined your favourite pale ale, it’s all getting cracked open. Whether you love them, hate them, or feel like you've been dry-hopped by marketing, this one's for you.

Drop your opinion after the episode:

• Did BrewDog get you into craft beer?

• What’s the best beer they ever brewed?

• And what’s the worst pint of piss they ever made you pay for?

🍻 HOPPERCAST EPISODE 4 In this dangerously honest and uncomfortably funny episode, I take you one step closer to the truth behind the mysterious, faceless voice of The Hopper Reviews, explain why you don't see my face, let you step closer to me by giving you a little life history and answer some fan questions.

Expect:

• Naked toilet trauma on Woodpecker cider

• Elbow confusion mistaken for titty contact

• A McDonald's sign heist

• Death growls + surprise piss

• The real reason I stay off-camera

• And a mailbag Q&A featuring dry-hopped tea and Official Secrets

It’s personal. It’s stupid. It’s exactly what you'd expect from HopperCast.

🍻 HOPPERCAST EPISODE 3

In this episode of The HopperCast, I dive into six very real beers brewed with ingredients that have absolutely no business being anywhere near a pint glass. We're talking crab shells, pubes, mouse carcasses, spit, whale bollocks, and yes — human vagina.

This one’s a beautifully horrible compilation of my worst-ever YouTube Shorts from the Would You Drink This? series. No visuals, no warnings, just full-throttle audio chaos.

If you're sipping a beer right now… you might want to put it down.

🍻 HOPPERCAST EPISODE 2 Ever heard of the time a 15-foot wave of beer flattened a London neighbourhood? Or how ancient Egyptians got pissed on the job — and called it wages?

This episode dives into the drunkest corners of beer history, including exploding vats, anciet beer, and some frankly questionable brewing practices.

These facts were first featured on my “Beer Facts” YouTube Shorts — but now you can enjoy them without seeing my face. You’re welcome.
