I had a good number of Hop Hooligansâ beers though out my trip to Romania. So on my last evening in the country, it made perfect sense to go on a âpilgrimageâ to the Hop Hooligans Taproom.
The selection of draught and canned beers was truly amazing! I started with The Emperor Returns Mango NEIPA, which tasted like an alcoholic version of a Mango Lassi.

He was chewing on a toothpick without a mask and when I asked him if I can try a beer on tap, he looked at me with disdain and then mumbled something like 'maybe but don't make me give you too many'. The beers are also pricey which I wouldn't mind if that money would go to a nice person. The guy at the bar acted as if I was making him a service for buying his overpriced beer đ Btw, the place was empty so it wasn't like he was overworked or anything
