The "hoptic" refers to hops in beer, clearly revealing that this zine is strongly informed by alcohol, as well as punk rock. Normally, even though I'm not straight edge or anything, I would think something like this is pretty stupid; but after reading this rag cover to coverI have to admit that it's done well and I consider myself a convert. The cover is a hilarious send off on the Black Flag "TV Party" ep, and the silliness is just a hint of what waits inside. Essientially "Hoptic Times" is a split between a love for hardcore/punk and beer; there are record reviews and there are beer reviews; there are interviews with punks and brewery tour reports. You get the idea. There are some cool photos of bands like Pulling Teeth, Burning Bridges (accompanying an interview with the singer) filling out the pages, and even a photo of Black SS on the same page as a beer bread! (sic) Anyway, after reading this I have to say that I want to hang out with this crew and get fucked up and listen to hardcore records and play drinking games. These cats know how to have fun! (BG)

There you go.
