Recommend Me Funky Beer

buy some fantome saison if you can or anchorage love buzz

 

I've heard great things about Love Buzz.

I think Lightning Brewery's Thunderweizen is solid http://www.lightningbrewery.com/thunderweizen-ale/

 

In order:
Orval
Anything Jolly Pumpkin
Victory Helios

 

_______ from Jolly Pumpkin.

 

one more great one to try is Cuvee De Ranke

 

I got a pretty solid funkiness from Rayon Vert, which also might be interesting to include because it's different from a lot of other funky beers.

 

Bronze age from Stillwater was funky

 

Really? Might have to pick up a bottle then!

 

Only available in Colorado but Crooked Stave is pretty easy to come by here and there stuff is plenty funky

 

Id find a friend or to share that Jolly Pumpkin with. I love Brett and sours, but a whole bottle by myself made me hate sours for a few days.

 

I can see that. I'd recommend sharing any 750, though, particularly ones with lots of flavor and/or new flavors to your palate (or high ABV).

 

I've heard lots of people compare Rayon Vert to Orval, though I've never had Rayon Vert.

 

I thought it smelled pretty hoppy, but I tasted a bunch of brett/funk out of the back end (... ). I liked the hop profile, and the brett definitely made it interesting. Most funky beers I've had have been saisons or other Belgian styles, and I guess Rayon Vert technically is too, but for me the main flavors were hops and brett.

 

I also thought RV was excellent, a really hoppy Belgian pale (a la Mischief) with a noticeable hit of Brett and just a bit tart. It's drinking damn good fresh but I need to age some like they recommend if I can manage to hold onto some, I'm excited to see if it turns into something more reminiscent of Orval.

 

new glarus rd pale ale was nice and funky.

 

In general:
Orval
Anything Jolly Pumpkin
Fantome Saison
Lost Abbey Carnevale

Once, I found a Girardin Geuze White Label which was more funky than sour and truly delicious. But I never got to try it again, so I can't be sure it's always as funky as that.

 

Not sure if you can find bottles on the shelf still but I would say Ommegeddon.

 

Don't mean to threadjack, but can you kind folks explain what the big deal is with funky beer? I had a Passionfruit Berliner Weisse at Hunahpu Day and it was all I could do to chug it down, the funk was so strong. Is it like stinky cheese? Super-acquired taste? Teach me!
