Fred Sr. — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 19:00:42 +0000

Hoppin’ Frog Brewery rolls-out our Hop Heathen Imperial Black Ale on Friday April 6. Its our brand-spankin’ new Black Ale, at 8.8% abv and rather hoppy. “Black Ales” are a new craft beer flavor combination that’s sweeping the nation! Our idea of what this new style can be is a crisp black beer, with a lightly roasty and chocolatey character. And you gotta have an assertive, piney, perfectly blended compliment of American hops in the assertive flavor and aroma! Price is $8.99 /22-ounce bottle, and mixed-case discounts of 10% apply. We’ll be open Friday from 10:00 am until 5:00 pm, and Saturday Noon until 3:00 pm for those who can’t make it on Friday! Also at the brewery on Friday, serving cajun creations for lunch will be the Zydeco Bistro! Stop in for beer, and get some cajun to go!
