Hoppin’ Frog Releases Both Frosted Frog and Barrel Aged Frosted Frog Christmas Ale

Frosted Frog Christmas Ale will be released for retail sales at the brewery and for distribution starting November 1.  And, the Barrel-Aged Frosted Frog will be released from the brewery only, starting December 1.  This great holiday seasonal beer is an imperial nut-brown style ale, brewed in the European tradition with very little hop character to let the rich, nutty malt character dominate.  This also lets the Christmas flavors of super-fresh cinnamon, ginger, orange, and nutmeg shine through boldly.  It tastes and smells awesome, and it has beaten many other leaders in this beer style, in blind taste tests.  It will be sold in our traditional 22-ounce glass bottles, and is available for our distributors in 15 states including OH, CO, PA, IN, IL, MA, NY, NJ, RI, VA, NC, SC, GA, FL, and KS.  Check-out the label, attached.

For a rare seasonal specialty, Barrel-Aged Frosted Frog is a great treat, expertly aged in oak Bourbon barrels for 12 months!  As the angel’s share evaporates, the barrel-aging concentrates the malt flavor, and lets the spice character mellow for an incredible taste combination!  Frosted Frog’s Christmas spices blend with a tasty vanilla note and a very slight Bourbon character imparted from the barrels for a wonderful, savory flavor combination.  With all these additional flavors, Barrel-Aged Frosted Frog is perfect for any Christmas ale lover or true beer aficionado!  Because it is made in extremely limited quantities, this will be sold only from our brewery, and will go fast!  Bottle price is $7.99 for Frosted Frog and $12.99 for Barrel-Aged Frosted Frog.
