Hoppin' Frog is coming to town!

Thanks to Mike Sweeney of STLHops.com, it looks like Hoppin' Frog is coming to St. Louis. At this point there is no time frame. They still have to go through registration with Missouri which takes a few months. It is not 100% yet, but it looks good!

"Missouri is on our list of new states. We must move at a pace that we can supply our distributors - so the exact date we can take on a new state is still being decided."
-- Fred Karm Sr., Owner of Hoppin' Frog Brewery
Check out their website

"Hoppin’ Frog is a small, hands-on brewery making very flavorful beers in the most flavorful beer styles. We brew high quality beers with an uncompromising focus on detail, from the ingredient selection to the brewing process. A specially designed JV Northwest brewing system creates more flavorful beers by allowing more barley to be used in the brewing process. We also use a special bottling machine that keeps the beer fresher, and extends storage times compared to other conventional microbrewery bottling machines. This is very beneficial to retain all the character of these flavorful styles of beer.

Hoppin’ Frog is the concept of owner and established brewmaster Fred Karm, who has designed and produced more award-winning beers than any other professional brewer in Ohio since 2000. All of these awards were won at the 2 most prestigious contests in the world, including the Great American Beer Festival and the World Beer Cup. Mr. Karm has been a brewer of specialty beers since 1994, a life-long Akron, Ohio resident, and is a graduate of the University Of Akron." -- Hoppin' Frog

Some of their beers....
B.O.R.I.S. The Crusher Oatmeal Imperail Stout

Winner GABF Gold Medal 2008
This Bodacious Oatmeal Russian Imperial Stout will crush you like no other! This is the grand-daddy of all stout styles, with an intensely deep roasted and full bodied flavor. A robust hop character adds a refreshing balance.

9.4% a/v 107 OG (25.3°P) 60 IBU




Hoppin Frog Hop Dam Triple IPA

Some say “bigger is better!”. At Hoppin’ Frog, we built a massive hop dam to handle the enormous amount of hops added to this colossal American Triple I.P.A. An intense experience of citrus and piney hop character is complimented by layers of rich malt flavor. Behold our new standard for hoppy beers.

10% a/v 94 OG (22.5 °P) HIGH IBU
