I visited this stand every day of the Warsaw Beer Festival, not in a stalking sense, but their beer range did change every day and I didn’t want to miss out too much. I consider Funky Fluid to be the best brewery in Europe, so this was always something that was likely to surprise and delight me.
The selection on the first day.
This is a pizza from one of the food trucks and it was very delicious. But, that’s not the highlight here, it’s the already mostly drunk Batch #1000 from the brewery. They gave me this free as it ran out whilst pouring, so that was a bonus. Anyway, this is their 1,000th recipe and this verged on being one of the best beers that I’ve had, up there with Goose Island and their Bourbon County Stouts. It was smooth, even at the 13.5% ABV and it had sherry notes, toffee, dark chocolate, bourbon and it was beautifully decadent. And the pizza complemented it beautiful.
And a quick mention of the Gelato XTREME : Banana, Mango & Yuzu. I mentioned this Craig from Norwich beer festival as I think more beers need yuzu in them. I’m not sure that he was convinced. Anyway, it was thick, creamy with heaps of banana and mango. Decadent, quirky and moreish, as well as being a challenge for the next brewery to try and clean that glass.
Anyway, always a delight to see Funky Fluid and to try several of their beers.
