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.

Bottle from the source: pours pinkish red with a small white head. Aroma is blueberry, but I think the raspberry is stronger. Lightly funky. Very soft, but addictively tasty. The fruitiness is not very sweet, but it is very pleasant. Clean.

A lightly hazed blonde saison with a very thin white head. In aroma, sweet fruity mix of mild ground cherry, light lactic notes, light Brett, very nice. In mouth, a nice tart mix of ground cherry, light lactic notes, light lemon notes, tart and zippy.
