5:00 PM–8:00 PM

Join us at Hoppin’ Frog Brewery as we celebrate Founder and Brewmaster Fred Karm and recognize more than 20 years of dedication, creativity, and contributions to the craft beer community.

Throughout his career, Fred has helped create countless memorable beer experiences, shared his passion with customers and friends, and played an important role in making Hoppin’ Frog the special place it is today. Now, it is our turn to raise a glass and say thank you.

Stop by the Tasting Room to congratulate Fred, share your favorite memories, and celebrate an incredible career and a job well done.

Whether you have known Fred for years, connected with him through his beer, or enjoyed listening to him spin vinyl during a visit to the Tasting Room, we would love for you to join us as we celebrate this milestone and wish him all the best in retirement.

Come raise a pint with Fred!
