Last Saturday Funny Brau organized a gathering of friends at Vintage 50 to celebrate our GABF competition beer being available on tap. This sexy Belgian Pale Ale is appropriately named "Six To Midnight" and was made possible by Bret Kimbrough and the awesome people at Vintage 50. This year Lee Rogan and Rick Sancarranco will join Bret Kimbrough at this year's Great American Beer Festival in Colorado to put Six To Midnight up against the other Pro Am competitors. If you were not able to make last weekend's event don't let that stop you from tasting this fantastic beer. Stop by Vintage 50 and have a great beer with some great food. Thank you all again for making this hobby so special and encouraging us to reach this point. - Cheers!

06/17/2014

Great News!! Yesterday Lee Rogan and Rick Sancarranco of Funny Brau collaborated with Bret Kimbrough of Vintage 50 to create our competition beer for the 2014 Great American Beer Festival Pro Am at Vintage 50 in Leesburg. The base recipe we decided to use is our Belgium Saison that has won a total of four medals in 2013 (which include two medals in the top two Best in Show). The process went extremely well and we are very excited to keep everyone posted on it's progress. And to add to the excitement... when finished our beer will be available ON TAP for a limited time!! That's right, you will be able to purchase this beer and share with your friends! More information to come. CHEERS!!!

The brewery that makes Dave donates some proceeds to charity, but buyers may be in it for the hype.
