Description
Owner Kyle Funk and his brother-in-law Jon Norman (Norm) are partners in Funk Brewing Co. which began brewing in 2014. Wether it’s Nirvana, Apple, or Funk, all great things start in a garage. Both Norm and Kyle started brewing in their garages with a turkey fryer and Igloo cooler. Later, Kyle’s and his mechanical engineering background built a magnificent brew house from scratch in his garage.

With Kyle’s brewing ability and Norm’s business background it made sense to start a brewery. The duo went to the Colorado Boy Brewing Company brewery school in Ridgway CO. After being laughed out of a few banks they were finally given a loan and the keys to 19 South 6th Street in Emmaus.

Since 2014, Funk has grown to 2 taprooms (Emmaus and Elizabethtown) and a distribution footprint of 7 states in the Mid Atlantic.

16 ounce can. Number one with a bullet. Hazy yellow gold color. Large rocky white head is enduring. Bright citrus aromas hint at lemon, tangerine and pineapple. Flavor is bittersweet citrus and passion fruit. Added notes of pink grapefruit and orange. There is an underlying spiciness that emerges as well. Very drinkable for 8% ABV.

16 ounce can from Trenton Road Takeout. Number one with a bullet. Mostly opaque dark brown color. Large pillowy tan head. Sweet roasted malt aroma hints at milk chocolate. Flavor upfront is tangy, sweet chocolate. Overly sweet with the addition of lactose and vanilla. Smooth mouthfeel. Bittersweet chocolate notes in finish.

We can sit here and analyze how horrible this beer is, or we can focus on the positives. Mathys Tel is coming to Spurs on loan, so I rescind my comment about him being a French 🐓sucker, and the smoking hot chick that comes into RBS gave me her number!

Can from Beer52 as part of their Pennsylvania box. Pours mostly clear gold, small white head. Floral aroma, slightly toasted malts. Taste again quite floral, somewhat tangy with a pine resin and bitter dry finish. Its decent enough.
