A truly classic American Amber Ale. Wonderful balance of
malts and hops with a “Extreme Consumability Quotient", “Delicately
Quaffable” and “Deliriously Delicious”.
The history of this recipe goes back to the early days of Triple
Rock Brewery in Berkeley. Head brewer Sandy Savage brewed a beer called “Tree
Frog Ale” at Triple Rock. Sandy did some consulting work at El Dorado
Brewing Company in Stockton in the early 90's and created and brewed a beer he
called "Some Kind of Frog" while consulting there based loosely off
the Tree Frog Ale recipe. After buying the El Dorado Brewing brewpub in
1996, I discovered the recipe while looking thru some old brew logs. I modified
the recipe and came up with "Another Kind Of Frog". The beer
was a great hit and even earned a 1st Place Gold Medal at the 1999 California
State Fair Commercial Craft Beer Competition. Many years later I have
resurrected it and collaborated with Cortlandt Toczylowski at EJ Phair
Pittsburgh and have now released the latest Phrog incarnation.
"Another kind of Phrog... Revisited”. Sandy Savage is still brewing at his
North Forks Brewery which is a Brewpub/Wedding Chapel/ Pizzeria/ Beer Shrine in
Deming, Washington and keeps the Frog tradition alive with his version called
"Son of Frog".
