Dead Frog began its life as the Backwoods Brewing company started by Derrick and Donna Smith in B.C. But the beers and branding weren't getting it done and the lack of taproom kept people from discovering their brews. Rebranding as Dead Frog and opening up to the public, the Smiths found themselves finally achieving the beer making heaven they'd hoped for. In 2018, the whole operation moved into a bigger facility in the heart of Langley with a proper tasting room and 20 brews on tap. Now their home-grown style, using local ingredients sourced from the bounty of British Columbia is making itself known. The Pondside Pale Ale has a wild variety of hops in it, providing big, juicy flavours and letting the taste roam around on the palate. Serves well at 8°C and should be enjoyed right away.
