I reckon East Anglia has the best beer in England. There are so many great local brewers. Adnams is down the road in Southwold and keep putting out brilliant, innovative beers. Then there's Lacons in Great Yarmouth and a host of small names, from Nene Valley Brewery to Mr Winters. If you're in Norwich, check out the Trafford Arms: it's in a nondescript-looking building which was rebuilt after a WWII bomb, but it has a constantly rotating playlist of brilliant ales and a landlord couple who really know their stuff.
Perhaps (citation needed)! Barrel usage in Britain is a lot older than the Roman occupation of Britain. A cup is not a barrel.
If I was to bet, cooper is probably an anglicized form of a brythonic language word. Any Welsh, Scottish, Irish, Cornish or even Cumbric (int al) speakers hanging around here?
HN auto edits some clickbaity/tropey titles in submissions.
Submitters have a grace period of several minutes to edit them back to anything they want, which will not get autocorrected, but many fail don't. They may not realize it or be too lazy to care, we'll never know. (Personally, I think anyone who considers themselves a "hacker" would at least try to bypass such a primitive system, but I digress...)
Some HNers complain every time that happens, gleefully oblivious to the countless other times the autoedit feature works as advertised.
I recently learnt that a "cooper" is someone that makes wooden casks or barrels.

"The best pint in England" is the title.
