The Brew Pub at Mohegan Sun

“Peeping Frog has been a mainstay in The Brew Pub at Mohegan Sun for a little over a decade,” said Joel Johnson, Brew Pub Manager at Mohegan Sun. “This light English-style malt has a crisp and refreshing finish that complements the spring season.”

Mohegan Sun’s Peeping Frog ale will be served at: The Brew Pub at Mohegan Sun, Hall of The Lost Tribes, The Cove Bar, The Longhouse, Pompeii & Caesar, Bamboo Forest, Seasons Buffet, The Lodge, Wolf Den Bar & Showroom, Leffingwells Martini Bar, Birches Bar & Grill, Taughannick Falls Bar and the East Wind Bar located in Casino of the Wind.
