We worked with Sudwerk damn near 20 years ago in The Microbrewed Beer of the Month Club\u2122 as they were, and continue to be, one of the best US craft beer producing lager houses. Honestly, I\u2019m not sure why we didn\u2019t connect again until 2015, but I\u2019m really glad we did. I noticed that they were branching out into some barrel aged, small batch, creative stuff and reached out to them last year to discuss an exclusive project for The Rare Beer Club<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>. They were all for it and sent us down a number of experimental beers that they were playing around with to run by the panel: Velvet Jackhammer, an 8% Helles Bock; Game Changer, a 7% funky wild lambic; and a bourbon barrel aged dry stout. Suffice to say, we dug them all, but then they sent us down a bottle of F\u00fcnke Hop Farm, a Dry-Hopped Blended Sour Saison, and it moved rapidly to the top of the queue.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re going to LOVE this beer. It\u2019s brewed with oats and wheat and fermented out with two strains of saison yeast. About 6-9 months in an assortment of barrels (Petite Sirah, Grenache, &amp; Chardonnay) all while being fermented with Brett and Lactobacillus. These various treatments are then blended with an all-Brett beer that\u2019s barrel-aged separately, bringing in more tropical and guava notes. Then it\u2019s dry-hopped with Simcoe, Nelson, and Citra. Suffice to say, Sudwerk busted out all the moves on this beer and it shows.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re proud to feature it.<\/p>\n<p>Prost!<br \/>\nKris<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-1554 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.beermonthclub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/funkehopfarm-cropped.jpg\" alt=\"brewers-cut-v.3-FORPRINT\" width=\"595\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beermonthclub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/funkehopfarm-cropped.jpg 1589w, https:\/\/www.beermonthclub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/funkehopfarm-cropped-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.beermonthclub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/funkehopfarm-cropped-1024x516.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 595px) 100vw, 595px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m really excited about this beer.
