About
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.

Very nice, pretty hazy golden and lightly copper tinted body with a thinnish, funky and large-bubbled off-white head that fades pretty quickly and leaves nothing on the sides. Aroma of very strong lemon, artificially so, with a lot of caster sugar and even icing sugar notes along with some moderate biscuity malt notes - strong in the nose, and mostly [fake] lemony. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong artificial lemon flavours dominate up front that make a path for some lighter biscuity and even grainy malts with some cleaner wheat notes further back, but the lemon and relatively strong sweetness punch through and leave this very refreshing. Aftertaste shows some enjoyable lemon and crisp malt notes that make this go down easily, sort of a like a lightly alcoholised, fizzy lemonade, as the style is intended for. Overall, a pretty nice Radler that is on the border to be a Shandy, and enjoyable aside from one thing - how artificial the lemons taste here - they are strong and refreshing (think Country Time Lemonade), but a bit too funky. Great to try, especially on one of the last hot days here in 2022 (hopefully). I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from the Department of Beer and Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 24-July-2020 for US$3,59 sampled at my house here in Washington on 06-November-2022.

Can pour. It's a hazy light brown-golden yellow with tons of sparkle, 2-finger width off-white foamy head with excellent retention and nice soapy lacing. Aroma is strong stone fruit, lemon, milder pine and pale malt. Taste is strong stone fruit, orange, late lemon (bordering on industrial solvent) and base malt. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with smooth, thick texture, average carbonation and crisp finish as taste. Overall, aroma and flavor are strong but a little off. Not sure how old can is (minimum 3 months) so hops may have dropped off--comes off as more DIPA than double hazy.

Can from Food Dog, pale straw, decent head. Very light grain paper lager nose. Slightly sweet on the tongue, malty with a hint of grain and earthy hops. Not exciting but better than most pale lagers.

Rocky white head left a spotty cover on a chill hazy clear golden coloured body. Zesty, earthy & metallic aroma. Medium bodied, foamy on the tongue with a sharp dry back. Bitter, citrus, pithy, grapefruit & earthy tastes with a tangy finish. Clean & refreshing - Good One!

16 ounce can. Bright orange gold pour. Large, dense beige head. Big citrus aromas hint at orange and lemon. Wow! This is a big, in-your-face brew. Plenty of sweet citrus, bitter hops and warming alcohol upfront. Immensely sweet and decidedly astringent all at the same time. Pine and grapefruit on the backend. Oomph, there it is!

From my brother: pours slightly hazy with white head. Aroma is citrus: mostly lime, some light tropical notes. Taste is juicy, sweet, low bitterness. Not bad. Hilarious beer otherwise.

16oz can pours out golden topped with a white head. Nose is citrus hops some floral pine notes and bread malts. Taste is more of the nice citrus hop combo and well balanced malt bill.
