Pub of the Season - Autumn 2009 - Hoopers Bar
Hoopers Bar was awarded the Autumn 2009 Pub of the Season Award on 16th December 2009. Situated on the back streets on the Camberwell\East Dulwich\Peckham borders, it needs to be sought out, but is every bit worth the effort.
Jamie Hooper took over the pub in early 2007, saving it from being a yet another pub casualty . As it is an genuine Free House, Jamie sources many Ales predominantly from microbreweries including Otley and Dark Star, as well as an extensive range of Bottled Beers from around Europe. Regular themed Beer festivals are held including a Champions and Winter Ales. Pictured above Jamie hosted the brewers from Sambrooks for a popular 'meet the brewer' session as part of the 2009 Cask Ale Week Festival which showcased a beer from every London brewery
