Funky Buddha Mexican Coffee & Wide Awake Return, No Crusts 4-Packs, S’Mores & Muy Bonita

Lots of news coming today from Funky Buddha:

Buenos dias, amigos: we’re happy to announce the return of Mexican Coffee!

This imperial stout is blended with coffee, cinnamon, and sent out for an extended vacation inside reposado tequila barrels. The result is rich and roasty with a kiss of tequila; just like a classic café mexicano.

The inspiration behind Mexican Coffee was to brew a beer much like the classic café Mexicano. These Mexican-style coffee elixirs are warm cocktail that combines coffee and cinnamon with a touch of Tequila and usually topped off with sweet cream. The concept stuck and our brewers went to work creating this bold imperial stout.

Mexican Coffee will be available just in time for Cinco De Mayo! Bottles and draft will be released in our taproom on April 29th starting at 11:30am. 22 ounce bottles will go on sale in our tap room for $25 each with a limits TBD. Due to the yield, we’ll be releasing bottles primarily in the tap room with an extremely limited distribution to select retailers. Stay tuned to our social media channels for more info on this café concoction!

Peanut Butter Jelly Time!

Our loyal fans have been begging for this beer and with good reason: No Crusts is a bready brown ale that sandwiches the aroma of creamy peanut butter with a fruity finish reminiscent of mixed berry jam. One taste will envelop you in waves of nostalgic flavor – just don’t forget to cut the crust!

Funky Buddha’s head brewer and founder, Ryan Sentz, was inspired by lunchtime with his daughter to brew a pb&j beer that tastes just like the real thing. Ryan tried 30 or 40 different recipes, using different methods before he found the perfect combination. After nailing the recipe, he brought the brew across the country to many different beer festivals. People were blown away by the redolent flavor and were instantly hooked on the juice. This year Funky Buddha took home a silver medal at the Great American Beer Festival for this mind-blowing beer.

For the first time ever, No Crust Peanut Butter & Jelly Brown Ale will be available in 12-ounce bottle four-packs! It’s set to be release in our tap room on National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day Monday, April 2nd starting at 11:30am. In addition to the release, we’ll be whipping up some delicous specials at the Craft Food Counter & Kitchen. Every purchase of a food special will come with a free 8-ounce pour of No Crusts!
