Скачать или смотреть Episode 85 - Hoppin' Frog Brewery - Part 1

Fred Karm, John Humphrey and Zachary Bastin joined us from Hoppin' Frog Brewery out of Akron, OH and we couldn't have had more fun.


Interviews like this is why we love doing this podcast!


We start off talking about Oktoberfest season and Oktoberfest beers, including a story about Hoppin' Frog winning a blind tasting, (which included 18 different Oktoberfest beers), with their Oktoberfest Froggy Style Lager.


Hoppin' Frog Brewery is about to celebrate their 19th Anniversary on September 1st, which is a testament to their leadership, their team, and of course the beer and shandy's they make.


We discuss what the craft beer scene looked like 19 years ago in the Akron area, what it means to Zachary and John to be with Hoppin' Frog for 14+ years, and our experience of visiting their taproom back in May.


We also dive into the (B,T,Q,D).O.R.I.S series and what exactly that is, barrel aging their beers, what types of barrels they've used and how they've come about them, and how Hoppin' Frog's beer styles are perceived in the industry.


Hoppin' Frog is selling fun, and if you spend any time around these guys, visit their taproom, or drink their beer, you'll absolutely know it.


We hope you listen to this episode and share in the fun we had with this great group of guys.


We have a lot more coming in Part 2, next week.






Cheers!


Steve and Scott
