About Funky Buddha Brewery:
Keepin' It Funky

From traditional styles to experimental ales, we make beers that create an experience. Beer that reminds us to be creative, celebrate being different, and always keep things Funky.

Bringing the Funk since 2010

Funky Buddha started from humble beginnings at a small brewpub in Boca Raton, built off passionate people and sketchy craigslist ads. We were tired of the standard beer offerings. So we took matters to our own brew house, whipping up unconventional-yet-exceptional ales and pushing the boundaries of social norms.

We’re still funkin’ things up almost a decade later

We're all about crafting unique libations beyond the simulation. Like Floridian, a German-style wheat beer that captures the brilliance of a golden Florida sunset – and all the unusual people who inhabit our great home state. Or No Crusts, our peanut butter and jelly brown ale that transports you back to the simple schoolyard days. And don’t you dare forget about our Gold Medal-winning Maple Bacon Coffee Porter, an unforgettable diner-style breakfast in a glass reminiscent of the perfect morning meal.
