Craft Beer App

Funkwerks is proud to partner with the Craft Beer App for iPhone, a new and frequently updated media outlet dedicated to all things craft beer. We have six of our brews featured on the app, so download it to read up on our beers and others from craft breweries across the country.

With the Craft Beer App, you can enjoy a world of beer at your fingertips. The main menu guides you through beers by region, or you can use the app to pair your beer with a meal, gain knowledge of a beer's heritage, or read blogs from various brewers.

While you're exploring the app, don't forget to visit the Funkwerks page and rate our fine brews. I definitely have our Maori King listed as one of my favorites!

Enjoy!!!

Summer Fun

Hello Funkwerks followers! Our first summer seasonal, the Wild Apricot, was a huge hit. While the beer drinking community quickly consumed the batch, have no fear--our second and third summer seasonals, the Key Lime Rye and Hibiscus Resistance, are still pouring strong in our taproom.

Key Lime Rye is a delicious balance of rye and barley malt, with a hint of key lime juice which adds a delicate citrus note. With a 5.3% ABV, this beer has been a favorite of patio-sippers and growler-fillers alike.

Our newest beer, the Hibiscus Resistance, offers a unique twist on a house favorite- the Belgian Resistance. We took our malty Belgian and added hibiscus in the brewing process to create a more floral and tart beer. With an ABV of 7.2%, this beer packs a bigger punch than our original Belgian Resistance, while offering drinkers a more complex citrus flavor for those hot summer days.

In other non-beer related news, Funkwerks is proud to announce we will now be graced with the presence of StrEats food truck on Friday afternoons. Just in case our usual offering of cheese, crackers and almonds doesn’t fulfill your appetite, StrEats offers up a variety of more substantial foods for you to choose from.

As always, we look forward to seeing you in the taproom!

It Tastes Like Summer

Wild Apricot is here and our patience paid off. Funkwerks’ first summer seasonal brings us a refreshing fruity brew perfect for the patio on a hot day.

This beer started back in February, and Gordon and Brad took plenty of care making sure Wild Apricot was perfect. The guys blended our house Saison yeast with a wild brettanomyces strain and then added whole organic Turkish apricots to the fermenter.

Sitting at a nice 7.5% A.B.V., this summer seasonal is sure to put a sweet smile on your face. Stop in and try one now in our taproom while it’s still on tap!

Enjoy!

Rent Out the Taproom

I can’t believe that May brings the 5^th month that Funkwerks has been open! Since December, we have been approached by a handful of fans of our beer to host an event in the taproom. With the enjoyment of our grand opening in January, it is easy to see why. Our cozy tasting area allows a group, whether it’s a business function or a birthday celebration, to get together and create an experience for any occasion. 

Betsy from Cohere recently hosted an anniversary party in the taproom this month and had this to say, “Your taproom was the perfect laidback and fun atmosphere we were looking for! Our experience could not have turned out better.”

Along with having Funkwerks beer during the event, you are welcome to schedule a catering service to provide you food as well. So far, we’ve had everything from a potluck for a birthday celebration to Pizza Cazbah setting up its mobile pizza oven in our parking lot for the recent Cohere function. 

For additional information, please contact me via e-mail at jean@funkwerks.com.

As always, enjoy!

Puppy treats benefit Animal House shelter

Now that it feels like springtime in Fort Collins with rolling storms and flowers blooming, it is nice to know that you can bring your puppy to Funkwerks and enjoy a beer out on our fenced-in patio.

With the addition of our picnic tables along with the patio table and chairs, there are plenty of places to sit, relax, and enjoy some sun with your furry friend. We even have little puppy bags for easy cleaning of the lawn.

Most importantly, though, we have doggie treats for your companion to snack on with donations going to Animal House. This local animal shelter provides a second chance to pets that may have been euthanized elsewhere. Also providing grooming for your pooch, Animal House is a great place to go and get some of that fur off for the warm days ahead. All proceeds help ensure care for all the Animal House guests waiting for adoption.

So, please help us here at Funkwerks this summer raise as much as we can.  A treat for you brings another meal for one less fortunate.

Enjoy!

Spring Fever is in the Air

Spring has already been a great season for us at Funkwerks! Our patio was recently outfitted with a custom-made patio table and chairs, created for us by the guys at Loading Dock Design. Thank you, Zach and Jeremy. We love the new set-up on the patio!

Over the last several weeks, we’ve welcomed some new beers to our menu in the taproom, our Barrel Aged Saison and Bastille Biere de Garde, and just the other day we re-released the Maori King, our Imperial Saison. This hoppier version of our Flagship Saison has been a taproom favorite and, as a fan of hoppy beers myself, I’m super excited to have it back on tap. To mark its return, the brewers decided we should give the brew its own shirt. Available here in the taproom, the black t-shirts feature a Maori design created by a fan (thanks, Sam!).

I’m also excited to announce another bit of excitement for us. This weekend, our sister brewery Crooked Stave is tapping its first batch, the spring seasonal Poudre Foudre. This Belgian-style Pale is another great addition to our ever-growing list of beers for you to enjoy this spring in our taproom. Congrats, Chad, on tapping the Poudre Foudre!

If you’re here on a Saturday, we offer tours of the brewery at 2 p.m. So come as you are, grab a beer, and take in some rays on the newly improved patio.

See you soon,

Jean
