Funky Buddha Announces 2017 Release Schedule, New Year-Round Beers

Exactly. And let's not forget the DIPA Buddha included in their anniversary pack last year that sat on shelves and at the brewery for many, many weeks. You couldn't give that beer away.

 

hey @JerryIsAlive come on up sunday I will take the 3 other bottles of the bundle off your hands

 

I also just posted in the IP trading area if anyone going to funky Buddha Sunday may be interested in trading around some of the anniversary beers let me know.

 

Great catch, that's actually just an omission and has been updated, they are all barrel aged at least once

 

Anyone know if the bottles and glassware will be available as soon as they open? I was thinking about getting there a little early to park and then grab the stuff and head out, got the Champions League Final to watch.

Side note, the TW in Pinecrest was offloading Nib Smuggler for $4 a 4 pack, $1.50 a 4 pack if you bought more than one lol.

 

I personally thought that was a great and unique tasting IPA. I took several of them home on multiple occasions. I could see then it wasn't getting the love it deserved.
It was one of those "Oh well, more for me" situations.
For sure though, after several weeks it did start to fade.

 

I was thinking he must have read a different post. I was pretty sure they are all barrel aged.

 

Unfortunately, no one offered to give some away to me.
Sad..............................

 

IMO cycle's BA blow FB out of the water. Not sure id call it a fair comparison. I'd go so far to say that not only will they be breaking them apart but maybe we'll even see them in distro (like chocwork from last year).

 

Juicing Room is pretty solid, sweet and boozy. Not overly thick but not thin.
Save some for later is a bunch of chocolate and coconut with a medium body.

 

Save Some for Later is just the bottled & renamed version of their German Chocolate Cake double brown ale they've had on tap several times? or it's a different beer? still hoping there are singles of the Tropical Gose available after the fest

 

Juicing Room is pretty damn good IMO. Dead Pirate Roberts is also solid. They should bottle that.

 

Same basic beer but this version is way better than any of the other times I've had it.

 

I'm not a fan of Juicing room, too boozy for me. Surprisingly, the session IPA is pretty good. My only complaint is the body is too light, but flavor is great.

 

Yeah, that was my exact thought " This is a really flavorful session IPA"

 

Friend of mine who went today said that per his estimation, bottles should last weeks, if not months. If that is case, I'm sure they'll break up the bundles

 

Bottles are still bundled :-(

 

I could see them dropping the price per bundle before breaking them up.

 

Yep. They know those IPAs will just sit if they split the bundle.

I was surprised they still have bottles of wide awake

 

They must've made a ton of the wide awake. Still seeing it on shelves in central Florida and that's pretty unheard of up here.

 

All of Cycles releases this week are barrel aged. Just bc it's not in the description doesn't mean they aren't. Look at their instagram or the lables on the bottle. For example, Friendly Heads Up doesn't say barrel aged in their fbook post but the label on the bottle (not the pre-approval) is "BBA...."

 

Are sets still available at the brewery?

 

As of Thursday they had a ton. They've broken up the bundles as well

 

Really?! Prices?

 

Juicing Room was $25
Session IPA was $8
I think the Gose and Brown Ale were $15 each but don't remember off hand

 

Just called the brewery. They still have the anniversary Gose. $17 a pop. I'll probably scoop 2-3 bottles during lunch tomorrow.

Anyone have it? Similar to the previous batches of Veruca?

 

It is an absolute juice bomb...and better than I remember previous versions.

 

They're still offering 4 for $60 but German cake - $14
Gose - $17
Session - 7.50

Grabbed a single German cake and 3 goses. Also scooped a wide awake just cuz

Also, I agree with others. The session is pretty flavorful for style but didn't like enough to grab a bottle. Decent price at 7.50 though

 

Just popped a bottle of I want it now (Veruca). Beer is legit. Juicy as all hell

 

Hopefully they still have some come Friday. That's the one I really want to try.

 

How is this batch of French toast?

 

Still a ton of I want it now gose btw.

 

French Toast is now in stores around town. I bought 2 bottles from Lucky's Market yesterday but haven't popped one yet.

 

What I had on draft in Orlanda last weekend was delicious. A bit sweet as most of their stuff is, but smelled and tasted 100% like French Toast.

 

How long does this kind of thing hang around? I'm going to be in town this weekend and would like to pick some up.

 

I'd be shocked if it wasn't still at the brewery this weekend and if for some reason it isn't, you could probably find it at various liquor stores, Whole Foods, etc. Shouldn't be a problem. It's $10 at the brewery. I paid $10.99 at Lucky's Market near my house in Plantation because I was lazy. Total Wine is selling for $11.99 I think, in case you plan on buying multiple bottles, may want to consider price.

 

Total Wine probably limits the amount per person though. Brewery is best bet as you can buy up to 6 bottles at the best price. Get Pitted also arriving this weekend

 

This batch of French toast is great. I think they toned the sweetness a little. Tastes just like French toast and the smell is phenomenal.

 

^^^what is Get Pitted?

 

sour ale aged in cabernet barrels with cherries added (22 oz, $25)
