Since 1993, FrogPubs has been serving its own handcrafted beers, all freshly brewed and straight from the vats. We are now far from the small microbrewery - still in use - in the cellar of Frog & Roast beef. Today, in addition to brewing every day in six of our thirteen pubs, FrogBeer has its own production brewery located north of Paris in the city of Pierrefitte-sur-Seine. This is where beer is brewed for FrogPubs, FrogBurgers, specialty stores and bars across France.
In our seven breweries, our 37 brewers create 12,000 hectoliters of beer per year with nearly forty different recipes, for the pleasure of your taste buds! The Brewery for bottled beers is in Pierrefitte-sur-Seine.
Draught at the Frog & Rostbif pub in St. Denis Dark brown color; creamy head. Light aroma of coffee. Medium body, some caramel and roasted malt flavor, maybe too long hop infusion.
Draught at the Frog & Rostbif pub in St. Denis Amber color; creamy head. Some aroma of British hops. Finally a beer with at least some body; some caramel flavor, strong bitterness, maybe too long infusion.
Draught at the Frog & Rostbif pub in St. Denis Golden color. Some aroma of malt, caramel and fruity hops. Very thin body, as if it’s less than 3%, too watery. Just partially hopped.
Draught at the Frog & Rostbif pub in St. Denis Light blond color. Aroma of malt, dry. Dry mouthfeel, poor flavor, just some bitterness at the end. Bad.
Draught at the Frog & Rostbif pub in St. Denis Cloudy light blond color. Some aroma and flavor of malt, light wheat, Belgian freshness, too thin at the end, even if the bitterness is quite high.
Cask at Frog and Rosbif, Paris This is a decent stab at an english best bitter with good malt and hops and good balance. My friend in Paris just loves having something english and this is as close as he can get normally
Cask at Frog and Rosbif, Paris Black stout, tastes of a good creamy stout, bit more of a coffee edge. Good malt chocolate/coffee finish. Extremely good after a day sights seeing in Paris
From a sampler at the St. Denis location. Pours almost black with a medium thin and foamy beige head. Next to no lacing. The aroma is both roasty and metallic. Kind of thin for a Stout, with flavors of roasted coffee, chocolate and foam rubber. The finish falls a little short too. Disappointing considering this was the only French Stout I got to try on my trip.
From a sampler at the St. Denis location. Deep amber color with a medium beige head and light lacing. The aroma is mostly malty with a touch of floral hops. Medium body and not really bitter at all. The hops are mild and there is more than enough malt to counterbalance. This actually seems closer to an Amber in many regards. The finish is on the sweet side with some fruit thrown in. Not a bad beer, but not really in line with the category they are trying to achieve.
