Funk On the Water has always run a bit differently than most beer festivals. For one, we host it AT our original brewery location and take over all our draft lines. Imagine a HUGE tap takeover at Foam with an extra pop-up bar on the back patio and Deep City. Two, rather than selling all-inclusive tickets, we charge a one-time donation of $5 at the door that goes directly to our beneficiary, ECHO Center for Lake Champlain.

This allows you entry for the entire weekend and you pay per drink with cash or credit card. Instead of pouring all beers at once, we pour one beer from each brewery at a time and send notifications to subscribed guests when one beer kicks and the next is tapped. Throughout the weekend we rotate through a lineup of exceptional food trucks, bands, DJs, and more.

There are talks and panel discussions amongst our favorite producers. This year we are especially excited to include some of our favorite producers of natural wine, cider, and fermented fruits in Vermont. Please hit the links below to learn more.
