About
Mixed culture, Oak fermented Beer. Brewed and blended in Vermont.
Freak Folk Bier has been years in the making. Conceptualized by two professional brewers looking to explore their creative instincts and to escape the monotony of the typical brewery lifestyle and mentality. This is our attempt to have complete control over how our beer is brewed, fermented and presented to our local community. Our goal is to remain a humble little company and to grow organically.
We strive to present world class wild and farmhouse- inspired beer to an ever growing community of beer and wine enthusiasts to share and contemplate.
Admin Note: Freak Folk Bier was first brewed at Queen City and then aged in wooden vessels. The brand was started by Queen City's head brewer Lillian MacNamara and Ryan Miller of Kent Falls, Aqua ViTea Kombucha, and many others.
Permanent taproom opened in Waterbury, VT.

Pours a very lightly hazy, pale lemon-tea color, with mid-sized head. Aroma is grass, straw, citrus, with a note not unlike Juicy Fruit gum. Flavor follows, with the Juicy Fruit gum element more noticeable. Clean, crisp mouthfeel.

Lukr at the brewery, 9/12/26.
Toast and chocolate, nice and dry but not scratchy. Low hop.
Chocolatey and soft. Almost creamy with a great balance of toast, toffee and chocolate. Low roast/coffee character which I love. Dry, bready finish with a touch of hop earthiness.

Draught at the brewery, 9/12/26.
Smells of giant Citra juiciness. Slight undercurrent of melon, perhaps. Big, rich, honeyed malts. No alcohol noted.
Good bitterness with pine, melon, mango and juicy orange. Not drastically different than Bleak. Dries out nicely on the finish. Some soft funk and lots of fresh squeezed OJ.

Brewery draught, 9/12/26.
Big mineral, white grape and a touch of spicy herb. Dry nectarine skin with delicate honey and soft wheat tones. No alcohol noted.
Tons of stone fruit and juicy citrus with ultra soft, almost creamy textures and lower but not problematically low bitterness. Good pine character lingering. Thick but not sweet.

Brewery draught, 9/12/26.
Funky peach skin and acid with tart passion fruit and its funk as well. Mallow-like vanilla cream and not all that sweet in the nose, honestly. No gross lactose.
Sweet and soft with rich, real peach and juicy, tart, funky passion fruit. Soft and creamy, not too sweet. Juicy, with great acidity. I mean, it's pretty damned balanced for the style.

Pours a very hazy, chalk-banana-lemon, with smallish head. Aroma is a touch dank, with citrus and tropical fruit. Flavors follow, with a light underlying sweetness. Soft mouthfeel. Moderate hop bitterness in the finish.
