Canada, ON: Nickel Brook Brewing relaunches Burlington Brewery as the Funk Lab

Nickel Brook Brewing has announced that with production of its mainline brands now shifted to the brewery in Hamilton that it co-owns with Collective Arts Brewing, its original brewery in nearby Burlington has been transitioned to a “full-time funk and sour beer facility” known as The Funk Lab, Canadian Beer News reported.

According to a press release, “The Funk Lab is dedicated to brewing small-batch funk and sour beers using rare and wild yeast strains, as well as barrel-ageing beers such as fan-favourites Cuvée and Winey Bastard.”

The transition also means that two previously limited brands – Uncommon Element Brett Pale Ale and Brett Saison – will now be available year round, alongside a rotation of seasonal and one-off brands such as a Cucumber-Lime Gose and Uber Raspberry Berliner Weisse.
