The Kopper Keg — Restaurant in England

I'm actually shocked I haven't written a review for this place yet!

I have been coming to the Kopper Keg for a couple of years now and it's absolutely my go to place for drinks. Almost a second home (much to the dismay of the wife), so Phil (one of the owners) is incredibly knowledgeable about his drinks, and is always on hand to make suggestions or tell you about new ales, stouts either on tap or coming soon, nothing is a problem and his wife Emma make's some absolutely amazing cocktails (for those who don't like beer).

It has such an incredible atmosphere and I am always made to feel welcome. The locals are great too and I've met some great people here. I even sometimes pop down on my own just to chew the fat and have a good pint. This isn't a place for riff raff, just good, honest folk.

Outside of this, Phil has always been really helpful with my homebrewing hobby and even welcomes in the Teesside Homebrew Club. If I have any questions or need supplies, contacts, he is absolutely the man for it and has had a massive impact on my hobby, helping to get better each day.

He takes a genuine interest in people!

Brilliant selection of beer. 2 cask conditioned ales if I remember right, plus several other taps that I would happily have consumed. Makes a difference from the central belt of Scotland where it's Tennents pishy lager, Guinness that's too cold to taste, or a other 3 "exotic" lagers i.e. Madre et al. (Best to just stay home) Nice few whiskies in the Keg as well. And I took a few cans away with me. Chap that runs the place is very friendly and seems to know everyone who drinks there. Real community feel, and as I write this, slightly jealous that I live...

Mate took me here a couple of months ago and it's quite easily one of my favourite places to go out on a night down the town. The beer is not cheap, but there is always different brews, every week he has new and interesting beers/ciders and I just want to try them all. 😋 The owners are good people and have themselves a lovely...
