Welcome to Scoopergen ! The Surgeon General says : reading this crap will lead to loss of reasoning, addiction to dodgy micro-brewed beer, cause you to lose your friends (if you have any) and render you unable to operate your machinery... allegedly.

o you remember the old days when scooping was fun, when crowds of social outcasts roamed the country, scooping beers in pubs and festivals, and generally had a good time?  No?  Well, I do...

This site is dedicated to beer scooping's "golden years" from 1994-1998 and tells rambling stories featuring the people who were there.  If you weren't there then you missed out ... have a browse to see exactly what you missed!  If you were there then have a look anyway to see what you may have missed due to an excessive consumption of scoops !

This site is intended to fill the gaping void on the internet about the hobby (or obsession, depending on your point of view) of Beer Scooping / Beer Ticking.  We aim to cater for everyone from the seasoned tickers in the 10,000 beer club to potential scoopers who may have heard of the hobby, but were, to coin the phrase, "too afraid to ask"; well, now there's no need to be - It's all here!  Using the garish icons below you can navigate through a veritable treasure trove of previously unpublished, original articles relating to scooping in the UK and abroad, amusing phots of scoopers, travel reports plus lots of other random gibberish.  Your input is positively welcomed, so please email us anything you feel might be worth publishing.

      First online 21/05/2003 - all phots & content by Gazza, Sue and Steve unless credited otherwise. 

Please don't publish anything from this site without asking first!  All opinions are those of the individual contributors (especially Soapbox!).
