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.

7.8/10
Definitely the best of theirs that I’ve had. Creamy citrus hops. Big tropical notes on the nose. Lemon sherbet candies, tangerine, some dank pine. Big oaty mouthfeel

A bit muddy and sweaty. Well-made and hoppy, but nothing to standout. So citrus and tropical notes

Can at home in NH. Picked up from the brewery. Pours murky orange-gold with a creamy, white head. Medium sweet flavour with pleasant puréed citrus fruits, some melon, tangerine, light bitterness, oaty accents, mild bitterness. Medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Moderate sweetness to finish. Very drinkable stuff.

Bottle shared in NH. Picked up from the brewery. Doesn’t seem to say ‘blue’ on the label but the hops are correct. Pours lightly hazed yellow-gold with a verdant, white head. Lightly funky, mellow sweetness, ample grapefruit, lemon, mild acidity. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Clean finish, somewhat cleansing, a little salty bite, more citric notes, mild funk. Massively drinkable.
