BORIS is the booooooooooooooooooooooooomb!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rockin:

That's one hell of a beer. I've only had a couple of your beers but I've always loved them. If anyone out there likes a big russian check out BORIS.

Thanks for a great beer Joe and welcome to the forum.

Welcome to HBT Joe and congrats on your Gold medal at the GABF . I'll definitely be looking at my bottle shop for your Imperial Stout.

I will have to hunt me down some Hoppin Frog, gotta support a fellow Ohioan!

Welcome! Any chance that BORIS is distributed in Texas?

 

[EdWort]

Welcome Joe! I've enjoyed some of your brews while in Cinci for NHC. Tasty stuff.

 

[theBrewMeister]

Wow, hell of a welcome guys, wasnt expecting that! Many thanks to you all. I'm glad to hear some of you guys like the beers.

As for the fellow in TX I'm sorry but we arent distributing there yet.

Thanks again guys!

 

[EdWort]

Texas is a pain to distribute to. We're finally getting the rest of the Stone brews.

Any idea where at in cbus you can pick up your beers?
I would definitely like to try them, but I have no idea when I would be in Akron again...

 

[Brutus Brewer]

Heading to Akron next Friday, I'll have to look you up.

 

[Hefeweizengeliebter]

Hey Brutus, where in NW Ohio are you....

 

[contagent93]

[RiverSwillBeer]

[Saccharomyces]

Welcome.

I'm hoping to find some of your warez when I'm up in Dayton in a few weeks.

Welcome to HBT.
Although I have a hard time picking just one beer, I would most likely say BORIS is my favorite. The other beers from Hoppin Frog arn't half bad either

Just curious, do you do small experimental batches on a home brew type system or do you work mostly on the industrial equipment?

I just recently had BORIS for the first time, and really enjoyed it. In Cincinnati, their beers are available at Jungle Jim's.

Congrats on the award. I'll be picking up some of your other ones on my next trip there. Anyone have any recommendations?

Greetings, fellow beer fanatic! Welcome to the board. Does anyone distribute your brew in Michigan?

 

[boyurboy]

Hello! Welcome to the board! I am a fan of Hopping Frog beers, and they sell them in multiple locations in the west side of Cleveland area. Heinen's stocks some of them from time to time. I have not had BORIS, but do like the IPA..

First, I noticed that youre from Cleveland yet you fly those puke colors? Interesting

All current and most future recipes were/will be brewed on a home system first. We currently have 9 offerings and I'm currently working on some new additions to the family in the garage. Fred the owner/brewmaster also has some new ideas up his sleeve. So look forward to some cool new brews comin outa Akron here soon!

 

[Brutus Brewer]

Hey Brutus, where in NW Ohio are you....

Upper Sandusky, about an hour or so south of Toledo. I used to go to UT, then Owens back in the day.

 

[LakeErieBrew]

I've been meaning to try some of your beers. Thanks for the reminder!

Lifelong Steeler fan here, home city doesn't have much to do with it.

I'm looking forward to see more of your creations. I pick some up next time I see one.
