In this episode of Beer Breakdown, Gary chats with Adam Kestel, co-founder and Head Brewer at Frogtown Brewery in Los Angeles, CA.

They dive into the backstory of the Frogtown neighborhood, their journey from homebrewing to opening a brewery, their connection to the tiki world, and their plans for celebrating their upcoming 5-year anniversary before cracking open Painkiller, a delicious tiki-style Milkshake IPA that instantly transports you to island vacation vibes.

Pick up Painkiller Milkshake IPA and all of Frogtown’s awesome lineup at their LA River-adjacent taproom in Frogtown or find them at a local beer retailer near you.
