Pav's Creamery and Hoppin' Frog Brewery

Two local companies are churning out tasty collaborations.

This pair of Akron mainstays team up each winter as Pav's turns the brewery's cinnamon- and nutmeg-spiced Frosted Frog Christmas Ale into a boozy ice cream. Malt grains used to make the beer, plus the beer itself, are emulsified with sweet cream. "The Frosted Frog, it's just a smooth, rich, consistent flavor that's better than other beers we've tried," says Pav's owner Nik Pappas.
