Funk Brewing Company

Finally made it out to this brewery and what can I say but wow. Red Velvet Cake Firkin and South Mountain Stout are delicious and the White Christmas just speaks winter. Great staff and quaint location.

I love beer. I visit many breweries. Funk is my absolute favorite. The staff are fantastic. The ambiance is very cool. You are sitting right in the brewery. If you like beer and want to get in on the ground floor of the next Heady Topper or Russian River. Visit the home of Emmaus Brewing. You can even bring food or try what they are offering in the food truck in the parking lot.

I’m a craft beer enthusiast, and overall they go a great job. They focus on Saisons and hoppy brews, if I remember their info correctly. Very friendly service. Bring your growlers as they don’t have much available to go. It is a brewery first and foremost, though there is a pizza place next door which you can bring over and they often have food trucks. I make the hour round trip a few times a year when I have time.

I really enjoyed their product when they first came on the scene. But it’s seem to take a bit of a nosedive over the past months… quantity over quality perhaps? Either way, sad.

Giving it 3 only because I like the set-​up and the ingenuity of this place. I don’t have a great beer palate, but I have yet to find one of their beers that I can drink. 0 – 3 so far. Not sure I want to try anymore

I think this is my favorite brewery in the Lehigh Valley. They always switch up the beers on tap and will gladly fill growlers from other breweries. I’m partial to the South Mountain Stout and Red River, but they are all great! Haven’t tried any of the food trucks yet, but I usually eat before I go there, next time I’ll wait!

The beer is amazing. Great quality, small, friendly, and GROWLERS!!!
I would give it 4 stars for the limited hours and lack of food, BUT they are a brewery. Not a restaurant. Not even really a bar, even though they have an area to sit and drink.
I hope they expand and open up full time as they close at 10, but until then, I will just have to settle with their amazing beer at local restaurants when I want food, and come here directly when I want a refill or a random beer.

My husband and I really enjoy this little local gem for craft beers. We have begun traveling with a growler just in case we are nearby and can stop in and fill up. Funk is a small repurposed garage that has been turned into a beer nirvana.
There is a small bar for tastings and a few bistro tables of you decide to sit and relax while enjoying a pint. I hope I don’t screw this up, but I think it’s $ 6 for a 6 beer flight taste. They have a chalk board list of what’s on their rotating tap and they give you a punch card and a marker to choose your flight. Generally, I like something about each of the beers I taste at Funk, there have been a few exceptions… this week they had some weird tasting turmeric cider that I could have done without, but in their defense it was not pure Funk-​they created that brew with the Furcon cider folks (no offense Furcon!).
My default is the double IPA or the citrus; both taste exactly the way I want them to. I like my IPAs hoppy and the citrus is an easy drinking beer. My husband really likes the 365 and any porter.
The staff/​bartenders are awesome. They seem to enjoy telling us about the brews, don’t seem to mind some annoying small talk and are all around pleasant! The only problem we sometimes have is the parking. We sometimes have to circle the block a few times till we find a spot.
Stop by-​maybe you’ll find yourself traveling with a growler too!

Awesome beer, awesome local scene, awesome bartenders. Simple and straight to the point. Take the tour (just look around not a big building), try the beer and then take some home. Either in a purchased growler or in a two pint to-​go carton. Right in Emmaus and open Thursday and Friday 4 – 9, Saturday and Sunday 12 – 4.

1. Get the tasting tour to try the variety of beer.
2. Get 2 growlers so you can take some beer home.
3. Mix the Citrus beer with one of their Stouts and enjoy.
This is one of the best micro brew establishments in the area.
Great service and friendly staff!

With a failed attempted at a ski trip, they didn’t have group lesson yet we didn’t want to spring for a private one and my friend had one of her boots and one of her boyfriends, we didn’t decide not to waste are drive north of the city and go on a random brewery tour. Googling what was near by we came across Funk Brewery which the cool name grab our attention and we set it into our line up of place to stop.
Being our last stop it was dark so we passed it the 1^st time around once we realized that we looped around and looked for a place to park. When we walked in we were shock about how packed this little brewery was. We searched around and finally found a small opening at the bar where one of us was able to order. We went with the 7 for $ 8 tasting which you got to sample all 7 of there beers. While doing the tasting we learned that you could sub out and double up on a beer you like. Not being an IPA or stout person I tired one of each than for the other 2 just double on on a style I prefer.
Eventually some space opened up and we were able to get two seat at the bar. The bartenders were amazing. Very knowledgable about the product and beer in general. Super easy to have conversations with we had blast chatting them up as we sampled Funks beers. Most people in the tasting room were locals, Friday is one of the most popular nights, if you’re in the area this place is worth a stop. Great staff, good beer, fun atmosphere!
