This week I have a kingly saison from Colorado and an dastardly IPA from Chicago to share with you.
I’ll start out west with Funkwerks’ and their Tropic King.
Funkwerks calls Ft. Collins, Colorado home and specializes in saisons and other Belgian-style beers. And they have certainly made a name for themselves quickly! In four years (2011-2014) they won five major awards: a silver medal at the Great American Beer Festival in 2011, two gold medals and Small Brewing Company of the Year in 2012, and then a silver medal at the 2014 World Beer Cup!
So yeah, I’m expecting great things from them.
