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.

Can at Jaxx. Deep golden pour, wispy head recedes. Light vanilla aroma. Taste recalls Cookie Crisp cereal, sweet, light roast.

Relatively strong and rich, 80 per cent opaque deep copper and brown coloured body with a lighter bronze glow, but still pretty hazy, especially for the style, with a thinnish, single centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of squash, brown sugars, some toffee, a bit of light earthiness with a dash of yeast here, but the squash richness comes out for sure, in the nose at a minimum. Medium to Full-bodied; Very strong squash and caramelised sugar notes show at first with a good dash of allspice and light canella flavours come through with a little dryness from the malts, but the toffee sweetness on the end is enjoyable, as are the squash flavours which hit very nicely and mellow this out. Aftertaste shows a good malt character with some noticeable sweet flavours from the caramel and toffee with some additional sugars from the squash itself, but a lot of richness and malt qualities come from the squash, too, of course. Overall, a nice beer that has some good flavours from the squash, but the richness it provides and the sugars alongside this make this very nice and enjoyable - recommended if you can find it, even in Winter! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-size can, purchased from GlenRo Spirit Shoppe in Monroe, Connecticut on 25-November-2022 for US$3,99, part of Batch #2599 (from bottom of can), sampled in my hotel room here in Orlando, Florida with my wife and three kids on 28-December-2022.

16 oz. can. Aroma is rich chocolate with mild vanilla. The flavor follows course with chocolate , vanilla and a nice full thick body. A little bit of chocolate or coffee bitterness round it out. Can’t find the strawberry any place. All thing considered, good.
