42 Great beer selection. Brewer doesn’t have a “good” IPA, but has taps with good IPAs from other brewers. Poor food, cramped tap room.
Overall, very disappointed! Supposed to be in top 100 breweries. B.S., it was a brewery in modified storage lockers! Brews were high in ABV, but far too sweet. And, bring a deep pocketbook, the brews are the most costly of any brewery I have visited. |

84 Arrived at 5 PM on a Saturday and the place was almost full. Music was loud!!! As a result I felt a little rushed to get out. If I had had more time and the music wan’t blaring, I would have enjoyed trying the many beers on tap that I had never seen before. As it was, I bought a box of bombers to go. |
90 Located in an industrial park near Goodyear is one of the best breweries in the area. You may find a couple of draft only releases but the main draw here is the back catalog of nearly evey Hoppin' Frog release that is still commercially available.
The atmosphere has a blend of tasting room and restaurant. Food offerings were excellent though not the main draw. Ample parking is available in the lot outside and you can also stock up on merchandise if you desire.
If you're planning a trip to Akron this should be a must see destination before you hit up some of the newer breweries in the area. |
90 Here during a happy hour and the place is pretty full with more people coming in. 24 taps and extensive bottle list. Plenty of parking. No television for sports. A couple of guest bottles on the list. Didn't eat but got full menu. Got shirts and glasses for sale. Beer is awesome here! |
86 Going to the Hoppin Frog tasting room was a good experience. I liked the feel of the place, it’s very relaxing. I thought the service was good and everyone was friendly. We sat at the bar. There was even a point were another server asked if I needed anything when my glass was dry. I really appreciated that. Good service. The selection was rather impressive. I have been a lot of places but it’s cool to see multiple bottles in the cooler for purchase that are years old and aging. You can purchase a bottle to go or crack it open at the bar, which was nice. The food was good and it’s one of those places where you see someone else eating and it looks great so you buy some food. I don’t regret that move. Anyways value not the greatest but considering what they have and how many different things that are on tap and the bottle prices its fair. Lastly if you are in the area try it out. It is a very damn good establishment. Try the tequila shandy, it’s a great and easy drinking brew with a ton of flavor and character. |
82 Located in a warehouse, not too pleasing from the outside (and a little confusing to get to!) but nice spacious inside. They have an extensive tap list and hopefully you brought a DD. Almost all beers are heavy hitters, alcohol wise, with several barrel aged beers on tap, imperial versions of most styles, and even their fruity wheat beer is 7%+! Nonetheless, there is plenty to choose from. I got a grapefruit IPA and coffee peanut butter chocolate porter, which were both delicious. They offer 5, 8 and 16 oz of most beers. There were 2 guest taps and a large bottle list, including vintage and special release beers. The food menu is small but gets the job done. I had the pulled pork nachos, which were a bit cheesy but tasty, and a chicken BLT wrap which was delicious. Pricing is on the high side, but to be expected with high alcohol beers. A great place to go in Akron. |
88 The Hoppin’ Frog Tasting Room is located in the same small industrial park as the brewery, just across the main drag from the Akron Airport. Not much from the outside, and they keep it simple on the inside: A large center bar with seating on both sides, and tables on both sides as well. The atmosphere is cozy. All bottles are in the coolers behind the bar. The place had a single bartender on a quiet afternoon, and she was friendly and attentive. The food is fine, a limited menu of average quality stuff. Prices are fair. But the amount of beer available here is staggering- 20ish house taps, 2 guest taps, 75ish house bottles (when you account for multiple vintages of some) that are all available for on-site consumption and to go, and plenty of guest bottles, too. That’s where this goes from a good brewery to essential visit status. There’s just so much good Hoppin’ Frog stuff available. The quality of the beer is good, too. I’ll always come by if I’m in the area - which is unfortunately rare. |
96 They do everything right here. A destination stop. |
76 Big gravel parking lot in the back. Went on a fairly busy Tuesday night, but far from full. Bar area when you first come in and a smaller beer garden in the back. I enjoyed the beer garden in the back on a summer evening. Only four entrees on the menu, but honestly I could have gone with any of them. My Cuban sandwich was a average portion and very good. Prices for the food were reasonable. They had a good selection of their beers plus some others. Prices for the beer are high. They have some rare bottles at inflated prices for take away. |
