the hopper reviews

I’m The Hopper. I dig beers you’ll actually enjoy (yes, even if you hate bitter West Coast IPAs). Every Monday I drop a review of a new beer, and every Friday I pick apart alcohol-free beers in my “0% Alcohol, 100% Honest” series.

UK Craft Beer Reviews With Attitude — No Bitterness Allowed

real ale craft beer

Welcome to The Hopper Reviews - the only beer review site that loves Nectaron hops, despises bitter pints, and comes with a side of swearing. If you want short, sharp, no-bullshit takes on craft beers (and the occasional alcohol-free gem) from the UK and beyond, you’re in the right place. I’ll tell you how much it cost, where you can buy it, if it’s worth your hard-earned cash, and whether I’d drink it again. Simple as that.

Expect full reviews, discount codes, affiliate links (yes I get a kick-back) and more laughs than your average tasting panel.
 
Hit the button below to subscribe, get your beer fix, and stay in the loop.

Why Should You Subscribe?​

Weekly reviews of craft beer (lagers, ales, stouts - you name it).

Alcohol-free beer deep-dives every Friday (#AlcoholFreeFriday).

Affiliate deals & discount codes you’ll actually want to use.

Straight-talk, adult humour, zero “mouthfeel” descriptors (unless I feel like it).

Real Ale Craft Beer
BUY MY BOOK!

 

Yes, I wrote a book. No, it's not an autobiography. No, it's not a novel. Yes, it's probably shite but will hopefully give you a few laughs and actually teach you something.

It's available on Paperback and Kindle from Amazon, thanks to Jeff Bezos.

BOOK REVIEWS:

My mother said,
It’s clever, but please stop swearing.

A mate said,
I expected it to be shit, but it’s actually brilliant shit.

A random bloke in Barry said,
Who are you?

And Mrs Hopper said,
"You fucking dick head!"

Welcome to The Hopper Reviews, your sweary guide to UK craft beer and alcohol free beer that actually tastes decent. I’m Hopper. I like flavour, I hate bitterness, and I’ll always tell you if a beer’s worth your money. Sign up to my newsletter to get beer news, discount codes, reviews, and the best alcohol free picks sent straight to your inbox.

DO YOU WANT TO SUPPORT THE HOPPER REVIEWS CHANNEL? CLICK HERE TO LEARN HOW!

The Hopper Reviews does exactly what it sounds like. I drink beer, I talk about beer, and I rip the piss out of anything that tastes like pissed on cardboard. You’ll find UK craft beer reviews, alcohol free beer breakdowns, beer facts, rant videos, ghost-pub specials, and the odd collaboration with breweries across the country.

I’m obsessed with hops like Nectaron, I hate bitter West Coast IPAs with a passion, and I don’t sugar coat anything. If a beer’s brilliant, I’ll say so. If it tastes like someone wrung out a sweay sports bra into a can, I’ll say that too.

I also spend my time chasing down the best alcohol free beers in the UK, because cutting down doesn’t have to mean drinking flavoured dishwater. Every Friday, I rate alcohol free beers honestly, fairly, and without comparing them to full strength versions.

If you want straight talking reviews, actual flavour notes, discount codes, brewery deep dives, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting, you’re in the right place. Hit Subscribe on YouTube and come and join the madness.

HOPPER OUT IPA

A BEAUTIFUL IPA FOR BEER LOVING HUMANS

If you love beer and have a working pulse, Hopper Out is for you! This 4.2% ABV Session IPA, brewed by the fine folks at Crafty Brewing in Surrey, is smoother than a well-oiled trombone and more refreshing than finding a fiver in your old jeans.

​​

Packed with Summit, Cascade, Citra, Simcoe, and Mosaic hops, it delivers a zesty citrus punch, tropical fruit flavours, and just a whisper of piney bitterness—like a forest gently flirting with your taste buds. Best of all, it’s Certified Gluten Free, so even your gluten-avoiding mates can get stuck in.

​​

Want to see what all the fuss is about? Grab a can, take a sip, and tell the world what you think using #HopperOut - because beer this good deserves an audience. 

Order direct from Crafty Brewing​​​.

THE BREWS REVIEWS

Sit back and relax with some slightly longer videos all about various beers. If you are offended by bad language and sexual phrases, you'll fit right in. Oooh, even that could be classes as an innuendo. Basically, most of my videos will offend in some way or another so, if that doesn't bother you, we can be best buddies.
