Their Tasting Room at the brewery has become an established Akron landmark, and is ready to serve your group big or small 7 days a week including 6 for lunch. They offer tasty dishes that capture the flavors of the season, as well as a vast array of their amazing beers on tap and to-go. Hoppin' Frog has an experienced and enthusiastic staff in the kitchen, where the focus is on freshness and vibrant flavors by using the highest quality meats and cheeses to make great appetizers, sandwiches, and entrees. The Tasting Room also has both an open-air and covered patio for your enjoyment, and is 21 And Over after 4 PM.
The service was fast and selecting your shandy's was efficient using the little card given to us. They had a lot of different options and I went with a flight to try a few. All of them were great and I don't think you could go wrong with any of their beers. I do wish that the place had some TV's with sports or something on instead of just more menus.
I came across T.O.R.I.S. the Tyrant while dining out one evening (if you look back in my reviews you should find it) and had to visit Hoppin' Frog Brewery as soon as possible once I discovered that it was located only 45 minutes from where I live. Turns out they have a number of excellent brews, and considering that they seem to specialize in the dark variety, I immediately fell in love. The atmosphere was very relaxed and my servers (I had two because they switched shifts during my stay) were both very friendly, helpful and accommodating to my offhand comments that came as a result of the wonderful tasting experience. The food was also good; I had a turkey reuben and it really hit the spot after a couple 8 ounce pours, but apparently their menu changes frequently, so there is no telling what will be on it if you visit. As I already stated, I love this place and I will definitely be back - I'm extremely happy to have a brewery as awesome as this in relatively close proximity.
