Funky Buddha Brewery

Hey all,

So I just wanted to start this blog by going over my experience a couple weeks ago to "Funky Buddha Brewery".  I went to the location in Oakland Park, FL.  They do have another South Florida location in Boca Raton, FL.

On January 11, 2014, I went there with my girlfriend and met up a couple friends there for the launch of their "maple bacon coffee porter" beer.  I was there previously and had seen marketing signs about this launch and I was eager to try it.

The second we pulled up, we saw tons of cars outside and about 7-8 food trucks in front.  Then, when we opened the windows, we heard the live band outside playing rock music.  We parked about a block away and walked over.  They had at least 200-300 people outside and it was packed to say the least.  We walked over to the tents outside where they were selling tickets for $5 each and you were supposed to take that ticket inside to the bartender and order your beer.  They brew many beers in house and they were "tapping" a new limited release beer every hour.  We bought a few tickets and went inside.   It was extremely packed inside, but it only took about 5 minutes for us to get our "maple bacon coffee porter" beer.  It was amazing.  I personally love dark beers and this one was an instant classic!  It definitely had a maple coffee taste right away and a little after taste of bacon.  I felt like I was in heaven.  This was, by far, one of my favorite beers that I had ever tasted.  We ended up getting a couple more and tried out a couple other limited releases such as a "whiskey beer", which actually wasn't that bad, and we also tried a "mojito beer", which we thought was a terrible mistake.

Ultimately, it was an awesome experience with great beers, music, food, and friends.  The pricing wasn't too bad and the beer was extremely flavorful!  We will definitely be back to "Funky Buddha Brewery" soon.
