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.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a cloudy orange yellow with small white head that lasts. The aroma is dank and tropical fruit. Slick body, grapefruit, melon, pine, grass, dusty finish, very nice.

375mL bottle drunk 7/29/23. Clearish. Violet-garnet highlight on the edges. No head. Fruit? More apple and strawberry than anything. Fruity coffee I guess? Weird stuff. Maybe a hint of alcohol...is the fruitiness from the vanilla? Soft and chocolatey, prune, raisin, caramel, dark roast. Very fruity, moderately sweet. Caramel, prune, raisin again. Where's the vanilla?? Definitely syrupy, fruity and intense but ultimately a bit too jammy-fruity-plummy-sweet. These guys are making some of the best lagers and IPAs out there right now, but are a pretty hard 0 for 3 on barleywines and stouts (Abyssalism, Sea of Stones and this). Strange.

750mL bottled Jan 2023, drunk 7/28/23. Clear, deep brass-bronze, sizeable, off-white head with moderate retention. Nicely mellowed, but still tart lactic acidity with excellent hop character adding all sorts of white wine, tropical fruit, spice and hints of juicy citrus. Deep malts contribute honey, biscuit and white bread, balancing nicely. Lingering tropical fruit-like acidity. Clean, no booze. Soft, malty, tart, juicy, hoppy. Just an awesome version of the sour/BA IPA. Tropical fruits galore, mellow lactic acidity, deep, honey-like malts and lingering juiciness. Clean, not boozey, not too acidic. Lovely, lovely hops.

Bottle pour shared by ClarkVV--thanks, Clark! It's an opaque brown with ring of beige head. Aroma is roasted malt, vanilla. Taste is strongly sweet malt, vanilla. Mouthfeel is full bodied with thick texture. Overall, really sweet and not getting any bourbon that would cut it. Not wanting to finish this.
