Romanian Craft Beers — Hop Hooligans and the Bucharest Craft Scene
The Romanian craft scene is growing rapidly, and at its forefront stands Hop Hooligans — a brewery from the outskirts of Bucharest that has established itself as one of the most creative and productive names in Eastern Europe. With Diana Barbu's distinctive illustrations, playful names, and an uncompromising approach to quality, Hop Hooligans is a brewery that is hard to mistake for any other.
Stylistic Variety Without Limits
Hop Hooligans do it all — and they do it with character. Hazy and juicy NEIPAs, crisp and clean Pilsners, complex sour beers from the Gelato Sourpuss series, powerful Imperial Stouts, and seasonal specialties — the assortment is incredibly wide and constantly updated. For every beer, there's a story, a concept, and a vision that transcends the can's contents.
Barrel-Aged Program
Hop Hooligans also have a serious barrel-aged program — series like Apocrypha and Sparklepuss offer Imperial Stout and smoothie sour beers aged in rum, port, whiskey, and wine barrels. These are limited-edition, collector's beers for special occasions that demonstrate the brewery's ambition to play at the highest level.
Collaborations and Balkan Connections
Hop Hooligans actively collaborates with breweries from all over the world, including Bulgarian ones. Periodically, beers from other Romanian breweries also appear in our collection, but Hop Hooligans remains our primary partnership.
