USA, PA: Funk Brewing Company launches in Emmaus

The Lehigh Valley’s newest brewery, Funk Brewing of Emmaus, hosted the tapping of their first beer on February 17, according to Theelvee.com. Kyle Funk, owner of the brewery, answered some questions about their new operation.

Joe Percoco, formerly a brewer at Weyerbacher in Easton and The Brew Works, will head up the brewing operations at Funk. Their core line-up of beer includes: Redolent, a 5.5% rye pale ale, Citrus, a 6.9% grapefruit and blood orange IPA, Efflorescence, a 5.3% saison brewed with hibiscus and meyer lemons, Penumbra, a 5% black saison, and Session, a 4.5% session IPA.

Their beers will be available at the brewery and will also be available throughout the area through Shangy’s distribution. Their brews will be sold on draft as well as in bottles. They will soon be giving weekend tours and sampling their beers at the brewery.

The launch party will feature Citrus, Efflorescence, and Redolent.
