Friday Beer Store Visit Scores Hoppin Frog Double Pumpkin Ale

Hoppin' Frog Frog's Hollow Double Pumpkin Ale, some yummy, guilty, drinkable pleasure!

The beer store across the road from work is my usual Wednesday afternoon break location but I had need to stop by on Friday so that I could show Travis (beer buyer for the store) the final beer selection for Two Beer Dudes Inaugural Oktoberfest. I wanted to show Travis to make sure the beers that I thought attendees could purchase in our area, could actually be found and were produced this year.

Good news, free run 6 femmes we only had one causality from the list when the original list had some 28 beers on it. That’s a damn fine ratio.

Now the real score of the afternoon was being able to get my hands on three bombers of Double Pumpkin Ale by Hoppin Frog. Hoppin Frog is a little bitty place in Ohio and doesn’t make a ton of beer. Travis mentioned that the guy who distributes for them does so out of his car. 😀 Anywho, they only sent 25 cases of this pumpkin goodness to the Northern Illinois area. I believe the beer store only had one, so getting three bombers of the twelve is a huge score towards the beer selection at Oktoberfest. Enjoy!
