Funk Factory in Madison

Per the FB, they are not open to the public. They do not sell bottles to the public at that location. Next bottle sale will be 14 Nov at O'so.

 

Some day...

 

Not in the fall, but in the summer Brasserie V in Madison has sours on tap.

Has that been confirmed somewhere that Funk Factory bottles will be released then?

 

Had I not read this thread I probably wouldn't have seen the date of their next release with O'so. NG is super good about putting specifics on social media and even their website but Funk Factory not so much.

I suppose I could just read this forum more buttttt the boss likes when I do actual work at work.

 

While I don't know for certain, I'm guessing all the FF social media comes from Levi himself and it's probably secondary, at best, to everything else he needs to get done. NG probably has more staff working in the gift shop alone than FF has in entirety.

 

I'm still waiting on some small details regarding BPT before I officially announce the release, but yea, it will be on Nov 14th at O'so.

Facebook is the best outlet to follow. Twitter follows that. The website is more for me to archive what I am doing and share lessons learned with others.

 

Straight from the man himself, can't get better than that.
Thank you! I'm looking forward to the BPT, keep doing what you're doing.

 

This Thursday at Noon, the Brown Paper Ticket reservations will go live for our upcoming release of Frampaars and White Lodge Reserve!

These will be released at the O'so 8th Anniversary party, and O'so will have bottles of Nefarious (Dark cherry sour with cacao and habanero) for sale on location.

White Lodge Reserve - $20/bottle, 6 bottle limit


This is our first American Geuze style beer and I am very excited for you guys to try it. A blend of 3, 2, and 1 year old American Lambic, it is a complex and delicate beer. If you've had any of our lambics, or been following this project at all, you will know I believe lambics should be first and foremost a balanced drink.
We are one of the very few producers in the US following the traditional lambic production process, and this may be why we are able to age our barrels for 3 years and not have a sour bomb. I'm excited to show the world what a Geuze from this side of the Atlantic can look like.

Frampaars - $22.50/bottle, 6 bottle limit


Frampaars, meaning purple raspberry, is the sister beer to Framrood (red raspberry). This is a blend of our American Lambic averaging 2 years and then aged on purple raspberries for 3 months. It has been conditioning for nearly 6 months. Enjoy!

 

Excited for both!

 

Damn straight! O'so is also releasing a bottle that day

"Carbonation check next to a crackling fire on a chilly Wisconsin evening. This is Nefarious, an 11% dark sour aged on Door County cherries with cocao nibs and a hint of habanero. Available on November 14th during the O'so Toys for Tots anniversary party. No BPT on this one. Sample it the day of the party before you buy as much as you like. Please tag a beer geek near you and keep an eye out on Facebook for a possible second fruited sour beer released at the same time."

 

So if you aren't there at O'so on 11/14, are there other options to get these releases?

 

Proxy, someone else can pick up for you

 

We allow trustees. You will need to provide your trustee with a photocopy of your ID and they can pick up your bottles for you.

 

I assume a photo of your id texted to your proxy will work as a "photocopy"?

Looking for a Milwaukee trustee, I will be in Cali that weekend.

 

Yes, this was allowed at the last release.

 

Yep.
