Warsaw – Warsaw Beer Festival (Funky Fluid 1/3)

As far as I’m concerned, Funky Fluid are the best brewer in Europe at the moment and thanks to them for giving me stickers so I can show that love. There are three parts to this Funky Fluid love as the beer festival is taking place over three days and I’ll be there every day at their stall.

This is actually day two, but I don’t think anyone will worry that I’ve posted the days the wrong way around. Just looking at these tempting options, let alone the 2024 Bourbon County Stout.

This is the Gelato XTREME : Tropical Shake from Funky Fluid, an 8% sour, and it’s made of 40% fruit which pushes beer to its absolute limits. It’s an 8% ABV and punchy in taste but not boozy, like an adult fruit juice. Innovative, packed with mango and verging on perfection once again.

This is the Gelato White Fluff from Funky Fluid and it’s deeply clever, a mixture of sweet and sour. There are tastes of marshmallows alongside peaches and pears. Smooth, decadent and innovative.

I love innovation in beers and Funky Fluid merrily push at this, in a similar way to how Vault City play about at the margins. All very lovely.
