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.

Draft at the Fridge in Lancaster, PA. Slightly hazy golden color with strong, sticky lacing. Aroma is grapefruit rind with some lysol/chemical like hoppiness. Same in flavor, just a stripped out hop flavor that comes off industrial. Not much else to it.

Can from Bottle King, Livingston, 12/1/15. Pours a cloudy orange color with a lasting sheet of cream colored head and light-medium lacing. The grapefruit and other fruity hops come through the most on the aroma with some pine and hints of pale malt. Flavor is also quite citrusy, with some tart grapefruit notes as well. Finishes with a decent amount of bitterness, but not a huge amount. Good drinkability. Long finish. Soft to average carbonation. Pretty solid citrus fruit forward beer. Smells a drop better then it tastes.
