Funkiest Beers...

Great Divide's Collette was pretty funky...

 

Just had a botlle of crooked stave L'brett d'or dry hp version. Extremely funked out and outrageously good.

 

Ta'henket. I used to be a huge fan of DFH...I also remember magichat's "Over the Pills" being funky.

 

Recently had Hanssens Oude Gueuze. Super Funky and Sour!

 

Jolly Pumpkin Beers have some funk and sour to them. Not sure if you can get them as I have no idea where you are from.

 

1 year old rayon vert. cracked one open the other week, all funk

 

Drank a 2008 Boulevard Saison Brett recently. It was nice and funky!

 

Agreed. I love Rayon Vert and in terms of pure funk, it's tough to beat. It's a showcase for Brett.

 

Had GF Rayon Vert last summer.. Completely disappointed with it. Probably wouldn't return to it again. Perhaps a bad 4 pack? Who knows.

In terms of funk.. Just had Olde Hickory's Reedemer, which is a IIPA. Tons of funk & a damn tasty beer!

 

Girardin 1882 is my favorite gueuze because the funk is so much more prominent than the sour, from what I remember (it's been a few years, sadly).

 

madame rose? then again, that was the only sour beer I've had (not a fan of the genre). Seemed funky to me (the uninitiated)

 

Round Guys Berliner-Weisster Weisster-Berliner

 

Stillwater Table Beer
Stillwater Premium
Evil Twin Femme Fatale

I love funk and all of those were either pushing it or at times distastefully funky. Table Beer was definitely the best of those.

Edit: funky in a different direction, Funky Buddha's Passionfruit Berliner Weisse was the cheesiest funk I've ever tasted. Tasty, but very cheesy. Ommegang Ommegeddon and 1.5yr Matilda are probably my favorite high-funktality beers I've had. And Rayon Vert is a beautiful thing, at all stages . . .

 

Funkwerks brett dream, crooked stave wwbi was pretty funky last I tried as well.

 

As mentioned above, anything from Jolly Pumpkin is funky... The wine barrel aging adds a strange twist on the beers. Great contrast. Interesting experience each time.

Also, Goose Island's Matilda always seemed rather funky to me.

 

iO Saison - Jolly Pumpkin
Jack D'Or - Pretty Things
Lower Dens (Sensory Series Vol. 1) - Stillwater

When I think funk, I think barnyard/earthy flavors, not to be confused with sours. I love both funk and sour though!

 

Prometheus

 

Table Beer had no apparent character to me other than being booooone dry. It was like seltzer. I don't think of Premium as being especially "funky" to me, either. Seems to me the aim of these two is being clean. Can't speak to Femme Fatale.

 

I agree with your analysis of those 2 Stillwater beers. I don't really get funk from those either.
