Description
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 is 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 hazy, orange juice color, with smallish head. Aroma is dank, with some green onion/garlic upfront, along with citrus and tropical fruit. Flavors all carry over. Soft mouthfeel. Mild hop bitterness at the finish.

Pours a dark brown, verging on black, with smallish tan head. Aroma is roasted grain, burnt toast, a touch of chocolate. Flavors all follow, along with a touch of leather, molasses, maybe a touch of fruit. Clean, crisp mouthfeel, though maybe a touch on the thin side?
