Frogg Brewing

 

 

 

 

Visited the Frogg by chance on a drive through New Hampshire in mid-February. A comfy little house run by a couple that were a lotta fun, and as it was off hours, not much of a crowd. Which I like. The local folks that bellied up to the bar were cool as well, and we all had some good laughs.

Had a flight and a coupla pints. The beer was solid, nothing really stood out, but a good range of ales, all that I tasted were quaffable. I stayed away from the high test brews as I was on the road, and they seemed to be the ones most in demand.

Loved the place and will return, even though it's a haul from Boston.

I stopped in here today for the first time. Looks like an old house with an addition with 2 other business' in it. It was Sunday so the other shops were closed and the lot behind had ample parking. On the main drag in Marlborough on rte 101 its hard to miss. Three four-seater tables outside maybe half a dozen more inside and 8 or so seats at the bar. Samples and full pours with some snacks available as well. They had 9 on tap when I was there, I tried 5 and took the other 4 home in 16 oz cans. They will can any beer on tap for you to take with you. A flight of 5 and a 4 pack to go cost me 28 bucks, pretty standard pricing wise. The guy behind the bar was friendly but not overbearing and he was attentive. Pretty solid beer I would go back if in the area.

I live in Keene, NH, Marlborough is a small town neighbor, so of course I was excited for another Brewery to open.
For 20 + years Elm City Brewing was the only game in the local area. In the last two years we've seen three more breweries pop out around us.
It was a beautiful fall day when I first visited Frogg (first and last) I had relatives and friends meet there during their first weekend open. For the most part it was unorganized and low quality. Tiny space with limited outdoor seating. I can forgive all of the operational flaws, but when it comes down to quality and selection.....it's a deal breaker.
That being said, they are still very green (pun totally unintentionally) and I would give them a second chance.
I just had a muddy hop bomb called Space Frog that I enjoyed at another local restaurant.....time will tell.

There are many quality breweries popping up within the Monadnock region of Newhampshire, Post and Beam, Branch and Blade and Granite roots are a few Frogg brewing in Marlborough NH does not belong on that list. The two beers I tried were there kroak IPA and there F bomb double IPA. The Kroak has probably been the worst IPA I have had this year, to start it was flat and under carbonated and on the palate was also flat, very little hop aroma or flavor nothing to start. The back end had a sweet tangy after taste with very little hop flavor overall it tasted like a first time home brewer's beer go array. The f bomb double IPA actually had some hop aroma and flavor but overall lacked the same flavor and pugnacity that would put it in the same category as a quality double IPA and had the same flat under carbonated quality overall very un impressed and not worth trying.
