Right then. Time for a quick update — and by “quick,” I mean it’s like popping to the pub for one and coming home three hours later with a kebab and a new tattoo.
Here’s what’s new in the world of The Hopper Reviews, and a reminder of some old favourites you might’ve missed...
🍻 Hopper Out IPA — Now Available!
Yes, I finally did it. Brewed my own bloody beer. Well, twice, actually...
My very own session IPA — dry-hopped, full of flavour, and, crucially, not a bitter piney West Coast horror show. It's called:
Brewed with love (and Mosaic, Simcoe, Cascade, and Chinook), it’s smooth, sessionable, and available online now. It was originally called Hopper Out - It's An IPA Motherfuckers, but legal powers that be told me to change it or fuck off. Hence, twice!
Go grab a can or twelve, and tell your mates!
🎙️ The HopperCast — Podcast Now on Spotify
I’ve launched The HopperCast — my beer-soaked ramblings, stories, brewery scandals, and the odd inappropriate fact. There's also one that brings you a step closer to the real man behind The Hopper, with some real life stories and personal questions answered. Oh, and there's a good one about BrewDog, a good old fashioned documentary about the rise and controversies....
The PodCast is perfect for when you’re driving, working, or pretending to listen to your partner.
It’s also on Apple and Amazon if you swing that way.
🧢 HopperMerch — T-Shirts, Mugs & More
You asked for merch. So I made some. From rude beer shirts and caps to mugs that’ll get you banned from your nan’s kitchen, it’s all here. Hey, there's even a Hopper's Arse Crack candle...
Support the channel, look sexy doing it.
📘 Hopper’s Hop Guide — The Book Is Brewing
I'm writing the world’s most honest, inappropriate, hop-soaked guidebook. Packed with beer knowledge, filth, and fictional hop characters like “Baz the Bitter Bastard” and “Vic Secret the Aussie Love Machine.” You can even get yourself in the book...
Coming soon as a printed book, with merch, QR codes, and more adult content than a Friday night in Blackpool. I'll be taking pre-orders soon as well, if that interests you.
🍺 New Brewery Collab Incoming: Tun Brewing!
Right, quick shoutout — I’m now officially working with Tun Brewing.
They’ve got some cracking beers and have invited me into the fold with a shiny new affiliate setup. So when I rave about something from them, you’ll know it’s both tasty and supporting the channel. I get a small commission, you save a massive 20%. What's not to love?
I'll say it again — you get 20% off when you use my code.

And yes, I’ll be reviewing their beers soon. I’ve already got my eyes on a couple that look like they might either blow my mind... or blow up the next Vile Pile episode (just kidding, they're sexy bitches of beers and I can't wait to stick them inside my mouth).
📺 New YouTube Videos & Shorts
There’s a pile of fresh beer reviews now live on YouTube — craft cans, shock beers, and a few that made me question my choice of beverage. I've also started uploading podcast episodes there too, so if you prefer your beer wisdom without the visuals and silly editing, it’s all happening.

If you're a brewer, I’d love to hear from you. Whether it’s sending beer in for review, brewing a collab, or just sorting out an affiliate link that works for both of us — I’m open to ideas and have worked with several breweries and bottle shops in the past that are still in business!
🍻 Final Thought
The Hopper Reviews is growing fast — but I’m still just one bloke, a camera, and a beer in his hand.
Thanks for being here. Stick around. And as always…
Hopper out!
