Happy Thursday Gang 🙌🏼

So with the recent news regarding The Hoptimist - Allestree we thought we would properly introduce Josh!

Josh is Amii’s younger brother and he has been helping us out over at Draycott for a few months now, we’re sure a lot of you will have already met him serving you some b**rs on Tuesdays 🍺

A little about Josh…his favourite b**r is Lord Marples from Thornbridge Brewery and he’s a pretty good cook 👨🏻‍🍳 he enjoys reading, gaming, tanks and learning many ‘useless’ facts which always end up being useful for a pub quiz 🧠

You’ll be seeing more of Josh over at Draycott as he takes the lead for us whilst we sort some things out, but don’t worry, you’ll still see us here serving you b**rs and doing events 🥰 we love our Draycott community so you won’t be getting rid of us any time soon!

But be sure to welcome Josh into the ‘Hopti-family’ and ask him what ‘useful’ fact he knows that day 🤣

Its finally happening! Don't worry folks! We're not leaving Draycott! 🥰

We can FINALLY let the "cat out of the bag" so to speak 😂

🍻 The Hoptimist is COMING TO ALLESTREE! 🍻

We'll be moving into the old Fireplace Shop at 343 - 345 Duffield Road across the road from the folks at Frank Brown Motors. We will be transforming the property into a independent community micropub ❤

Myself (Callum) and partner Amii will be taking the helm over at Allestree, we'll keep you updated with progress along the way 😁

We cant wait to get open, but there's a lot still to do. We'll keep you updated along the way.

Much Love
Callum and Amii 🖤
