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 Aqua ViTea Kombucha in Middlebury, VT.

Permanent taproom opened in Waterbury, VT.

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?

Can from trade with CLW--thanks, Chris! Lightly hazy, pale, golden yellow with nice sparkle, large frothy head with good retention and rings of lacing. Aroma is strong orange, berry, florals, white grape. Taste is pale malt, lemon, floral. Smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Nelson apparent in the aroma but wish was more in the flavor. Decent.
