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.

Very hazy orange and copper coloured body with a thick, two to three centimetre tall off-white and hazy head that coats the beer nicely. Aroma of super pungent hops with resin, grapefruit, pine, orange, citrus and pure grassy notes all with a good malt backbone noticeable along with some light funk and a dash of herbal and peppery notes. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong citrusey and sweet flavours at first with a little grain, a touch of resin and a light, but noticeable pine flavour, all with a great fresh hop bite with the grapefruit and tropical fruit flavours the strongest by far with a light bitterness, but not bad, considering all the hops that went into making this one. Aftertaste is deep and robust with the citrus and the resin the strongest notes, but a relatively good balance and smooth finish make this even clean and 'easy-drinking' despite the major hop components. Overall, a nice and ultra dry beer with some good complexity and quite the range from the hops - still not world class or a beer that you must try, but nice to have from the brewery and region. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Joe Canal's Discount Liqour in Lawrenceville, New Jersey on 21-October-2018 for US$1,99 sampled at my house in Washington on 13-November-2018.
