Funky Buddha - Maple Bacon Coffee Porter Bottle Release

As a Founders member, this is what I've been waiting for. MBCP brings the pain.

 

Do they fill growlers of this when it's released at the lounge?

 

Never have yet, maybe one day.
The most sought after beers they did growler fills for were Last Snow and No Crusts. No Crusts was twice, Last Snow once, and only a specific Tuesday for a limited amount.
They've been doing their lesser known, but just as crazy beers lately, like the Fire in the Hole and More Moro.
Every Tuesday they do a special growler fill.
Most recently they filled growlers of their Pumpkin beer, forget the name though.

 

Likely not, they usually limit what they growler

 

Founders club members get a growler of MBCP in like 2 weeks. Pip's Pumpkin Porter is the pumpkin beer you are referring to.

 

In the coming weeks (one at a time, on Tuesday nights) they will put the following on growler:

11/12: Double Brown Ale
11/19: Chocolate Covered Cherry Porter
11/26: Sweet Potato Casserole

 

The Chocolate Covered Cherry Porter sounds interesting. I had the double brown last night and it was delicious.

 

I will be there bright and early with some bottles to share! Gonna be up in SC/NC for Christmas so will bring back some interesting goodies to share during the festivities!

 

5pm tonight at CCB we are tapping Sweet Potato Casserole and Chocolate-Covered Cherry Porter.

 

The guys from FB are at CCB collaborating on an Oyster Stout. I bet that one will be tasty. Good to hear 2 of my favorite breweries are collaborating again!

 

I wish the stars would align again for Snack Attack. Damn.

 

actually Funky is collaborating with the Brewpub, not the Brewery

 

I know the Brewpub is a different location with different beers available, but aren't they essentially owned and operated by the same company (CCB)?

After they make this beer, will it be marketed/labeled as a collaboration between FB and Cigar City Brewpub or FB and CCB?

Just curious. I didn't think the brewpub and brewery were considered different entities other than their location. But it sounds like I was wrong. Thanks for the info.

 

To date, all brewpub beers I've seen have been labled Cigar City Brewpub, so I'd imagine this collab would also.

 

Thanks. Yeah, I was just checking out the Brewpub site. I guess I didn't realize the brewpub did collabs separate from the brewery. I thought the brewpub was just a restaurant that all brewed smaller batches of existing Cigar City Brewery beers. Interesting. Hopefully FB will end up having this collab available at their brewery once the beer is done.

 

the Brewpub, while owned by the same principle folks, is its own entity and pretty much operates completely separately from the brewery, especially the brewing side of things; Tim does his own thing, period

so whenever there's a collab there, it's a collab with the Brewpub and someone else

 

Funky has some big collabs coming up. Stay tuned.

 

They will allow bottle shares at the brewery and I have met some some of the local BA's at previous FB event bottle shares and let me tell you they are fun bunch. Can't wait to do it again! See you all there in Jan.

 

Planning on setting up a bottle share at the release, stay tuned for a list of ba's and brews in the mix.

 

Officially headed down(again) for the bottle release. We just left FB today after a weekend there. Can't wait to be there all day!
