The Hoppin is a decent old school boozer with a front area with curved serving counter that faces seating under the front windows and up the left. Another bar is found at the rear where the majority of people were sitting. Cask options during a recent midweek evening visit were Bass, Black Sheep’s Best, Oakham’s Citra, Fyne Ales’ Jarl, Two by Two Brewing’s Leapfrog, Ossett Callista, Ashover Brewery’s Butts Pale and Riverhead Brewery’s Liquorice Stout. I’ll be sure to revisit next time I’m in town.

An absolute lesson in how to turn a failing Punch Taverns back street pub into a destination venue. This three roomed pub with its two bars and snug was justifiably busy on the early Friday evening we rocked up and not a lot I can add to earlier reviews except to say that Vocation Chop and Change was the ale missing from Mr Fastard’s list below, all between £3 and £3.30 a pint and a great choice of differing styles and strengths as mentioned. For the record the five craft offerings were Beavertown Gamma Ray, Brew by Numbers Session IPA, Red Willow Faithless 84, Verdant Brewing Co Unlike Stars and Cloudwater DIPA V3. A justifiable winner of several CAMRA regional awards since becoming a Freehouse in 2014.
And any pub that has a Fine Young Cannibals concert poster as memorabilia, albeit hidden away in the back corridor, scores an extra point from me.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Hopinn
Side-street pub (formerly the New Albert) given a new lease of life as a modern-style alehouse. However, it retains two bars and a snug, with relatively simple furniture and plain decor in each part. I counted nine handpumps in total, five in the front part and four in the lounge, which offered the regular Bass and a splendid range of other real ales in a variety of styles. Could have tried almost anything, but went for the Tapstone Sea Monster (£1.60, half) which looked very murky (but not altogether a surprise since it was described as "unfined & hazy" on the clip) but tasted fine. Well worth the walk out from the town centre.
