Pensacola Beer

We originally wrote about Funky Skunk Brewing, a Pensacola Nano-Brewery in planning, back in January of last year. Shortly afterwards, we got the chance to review one of their planned flagship beers, Devil's Tail Amber Ale, which we found to be a great session ale.

Recently, Funky Skunk Brewing has taken significant steps to making the brewery a reality. The official web page has launched and a Kickstarter project was started late last month.

There are only six days left for Funky Skunk to reach its Kickstarter goal of 20K. Find out more about the brewery at their website, including the planned beer lineup, and make sure to check out the various reward levels on Kickstarter. Help Funky Skunk Brewing come to life.

For anyone interested in seeing more locally brewed beer options in Pensacola, the wait may soon be over. We have just learned that Funky Skunk Brewing, a new nano-brewery based in Pensacola, is in early stages of development.

From the Funky Skunk's Facebook page:

Our mission is to brew beers that are uniquely different, great tasting and Funky in their own ways. Our beers are brewed so that everyone from a beer novice, all the way to a seasoned aficionado will enjoy.

They have already announced their planned brew lineup for 2013:

Red Dawn Amber Ale
Liberty APA
Aztec Cerveza
AmeriWheat
Port O'Call

If you're curious about Funky Skunk beers, a tasting is tentatively scheduled for late March / early April. We look forward to hearing more about this welcome addition to the Pensacola craft beer community. You can follow their progress on both Facebook and Twitter.
