For the past few years the craft beer boom has really shown people what good beer is and how it's meant to be enjoyed. No longer are we reduced to mass marketed beer pulled in buggies by clydesdale horses. We have many flavors and varieties to choose from. Plan and simple, we have choices. However, South Florida was somewhat of a late bloomer when it came to adjusting to the new craft beer boom. People were looking for a place to call their own, a place they could be proud of. A place that not only brewed great beer but was stocked with great beer from around the country. Well The Funky Buddha in Boca Raton has come to the rescue.
Located on 2621 N Federal Hwy The Funky Buddha Lounge and Brewery caters to more then just your average beer geek. They serve over 40 different flavors of shisha flavors, for those of you who like to partake in smoking a hookah every now and then. They serve over 40 different loose leaf teas, kava, wine and mixed drinks, live entertainment, sushi, dessert, and not to mention over 110 different types of craft beer, not including their own.But what about the beer? For those of you who don't use beer geared sites, such as http://www.beeradvocate.com or http://www.ratebeer.com Funky Buddha has produced one of the most highly rated and sought after beers in the country with their Maple Bacon Coffee Porter. Sounds like something that you may find around the table at breakfast right? Well if you enjoy a cold glass of beer in the morning with your eggs sunny side up then this made be right up your alley. It's a dark beer with tons of flavor and character. The aroma is filled with coffee beans, fresh maple, and a little bit of smoky character as well. The maple gives the flavor somewhat of sweet character up front, while the coffee and smoky bacon flavors hit the palate towards the back end. With all the ingredients used one might think that this would be a heavy, hard to drink beer, but it's a surprisingly easy drinking beer. It's not heavy on the tongue and it doesn't fill you up, well after a few you might want to take it easy.
As of now the Maple Bacon Coffee Porter is a limited release beer, which means it's only available in small quantities and for short periods of time, but sign up for their Imperial Snifter club and gain the insider info on when it will be available.
