 "Wow, once again I'm blown away!!" Hoppin' Frog owner and brewer Fred Karm said in an email. "Hoppin' Frog Brewery was just rated 17th best brewery in the world for 2013 by RateBeer.com!!!! That is four years in the top 25, and six years in the top 100 -- a testament to our intense focus on making great beer! With massive growth in the craft beer industry, and now over 13,000 brewers worldwide, that puts Hoppin' Frog in the top 99.9 percent! This is certainly our highest rating we've ever received!!"
