156: Levi Funk of Untitled Art and Funk Factory Aims to Create New Styles

156: Levi Funk of Untitled Art and Funk Factory Aims to Create New Styles

For Madison, Wisconsin-based entrepreneur/blender/iconoclast Levi Funk, the apparent conflict in philosophies between his two brands isn’t a conflict at all. While his blendery and passion project, Funk Factory Gueuzeria (https://geuzeria.square.site), is focused exclusively on spontaneously fermented and wild ales, the more recent launch of his Untitled Art (https://drinkuntitled.com) brand is a radical departure, with its focus on cutting-edge current styles like hazy IPA, heavily fruited kettle sours, and even hard seltzer. Still, for Funk, these two approaches aren’t as divergent as they may seem. As one of the earlier spontaneous brewers in the United States, he took risks to test a concept and develop a practice that could work. Untitled Art continues that experimentation and risk-taking in beers that he also enjoys drinking—even if they are very different than the spontaneous beers that put him on the map. In this episode, Funk discusses both, talking through his approach to spontaneous brewing and blending, from breaking rakes in the breweries that make his wort, to understanding which flavors will and won’t age out of wild and spontaneous barrels. He discusses blending strategies, his own palate and how it impacts the beers, their methods for adding fruit, and more. As the conversation turns to Untitled Art, Funk focuses more on business than brewing, delving into the unusual business structures he’s developed with distributors in their 23-state footprint. He’s built a brand by breaking all the rules, with no appeal to geography or locality, no personally identifying elements in the brand, no salespeople, and no marketing budget. Yet the brand’s lack of communication has become a selling point, as consumers engage and enjoy the beers on their own merits. Untitled Art has embraced hard seltzer with open arms, working to overcome the disdain that a number of brewers have for the segment. “It’s the most recent iteration of an evolution in beer that a certain group of breweries are going to write off and say ‘this is not beer,’” says Funk. “But I bet you that 90 percent of the beer that brewery makes, at some point in history there was a group of brewers who said, ‘That is not beer.’” *This episode is brought to you by: * G&D Chillers (https://gdchillers.com): Nearly 2,000 breweries across the US, Canada & Mexico partner with G&D Chillers.

386: Hazy IPA Q&A from the Brewer’s Retreat, with Fidens, Sapwood Cellars, and North Park

At the recent Brewer’s Retreat at Dogfish Head (https://www.dogfish.com) in Milton, Delaware, Steve Parker of Fidens (https://www.fidensbrewing.com) (Albany, New York), Scott Janish of Sapwood Cellars (https://sapwoodcellars.com) (Columbia, Maryland), and Kelsey McNair of North Park (https://www.northparkbeerco.com) (San Diego) answer questions about brewing hazy or New England–style IPA. In this episode, they discuss: points of difference in West and East Coast hazy iterations balancing high finishing gravities with additional bitterness from the dry hop eliminating malt complexity and maximizing light color promoting biotransformation through whirlpool hops rather than active-fermentation dry hopping maximizing extraction in dry hopping using novel products to remove oxidative metals in hazy IPA optimizing polyphenols necessary for haze while minimizing “hop burn” pushing hop saturation with flowable hop products And more.

384: Eric Tennant of Benchtop Brewing Smooths the Edges of Foeder Lager and Barrel-Aged Barleywine

384: Eric Tennant of Benchtop Brewing Smooths the Edges of Foeder Lager and Barrel-Aged Barleywine

As a trained food scientist with 20 years of experience in the field, Eric Tennant entered the brewing world with a bit more background than most. And that background has served him well, as he considers both ingredients and processes required to achieve the beer flavors he envisions. Over the past few years, he’s focused Benchtop (https://benchtopbrewing.com) around foeder-aged lagers, but the constraints of the small brewery have led to a number of innovative process solutions. The techniques that he applies are making award-winning beer, too—Benchtop just recently took home a silver medal in Zwickelbier or Kellerbier at GABF, and their barrel-aged barleywine, Old Wooden Ship, was one of Craft Beer & Brewing’s 20 best beers of 2023. In this episode, Tennant discusses: crafting a hybrid approach to lager that’s part Czech, and part German decocting in a brewhouse not designed for it polishing beer through lagering without head pressure in oak foeders increasing IBUs in lager recipes to offset the mellowing effect of foeder aging double batching with different recipes optimized for two different mash processes checking COAs and manipulating mashes to fit the malt protecting foam potential when wood aging brewing barrel-aged English barleywine And more.

383: Alex Lawes of Whiplash and Grzegorz Ziemian of Stu Mostów Are Recreating Historical Styles While Pushing Craft Beer Forward in Ireland and Poland

This second of two episodes recorded live at 3 Sons Lumberjack Day in September includes two separate interviews. First up is Alex Lawes, cofounder of Dublin, Ireland’s Whiplash (https://www.whiplashbeer.com)—a modern brewery known for progressive styles, but also one that focuses on making those styles in low-ABV form for repeat drinkability. Next up is Grzegorz Ziemian, cofounder of Stu Mostów (https://100mostow.pl/en/), a decade-old brewery in Wrocław, Poland, and one of several in that country that helped usher in a new wave of excitement for craft beer. Through the discussion, among other topics, Lawes touches on: using a mash press filter to improve efficiency but also protect delicate flavors the impact of the mash filter on enzyme availability and mash times dialing in pressure to suit the needs of specific styles, such as hazy IPA achieving a more concentrated imperial stout wort without long boils managing hop creep in low-ABV beers building a better recipe for dry Irish stout the beauty of 2.8 percent ABV “micro” IPA Meanwhile, Ziemian discusses: recreating historical recipes such as schöps building a mixed-fermentation brewery in 2022 widening the range of grodziskie via mixed fermentation Baltic porter in Poland And more.

382: Brewlihan’s John Hoolihan Uses Tannin and Acidity to Build Support for Sweetness in Top-Rated Mead

In Oakland Park, Florida, Brewlihan (https://www.brewlihan.com) meadery sits in rarified air atop Untappd's list of top breweries in the world. Their rabid fan base has propelled them to No. 5—as of this recording—a ranking that founder John Hoolihan doesn't take for granted, as he continually applies science and chemistry to balance flavor, acidity, gravity, and tannin. In this episode, recorded live during the 3 Sons (https://www.3sonsbrewingco.com) Lumberjack Day festival, Hoolihan discusses: growing the meadery from a homebrewing project to a commercial business designing a base mead for multiple fruit expressions using carbonation and oak-aging in session mead flavor contributions of various honey varieties healthy but low-and-slow fermentation with 14 yeast varieties scaling mead from homebrew to commercial batch sizes mead fermentation dynamics communicating the sweetness levels of finished meads working with tannin and tartness to balance sweetness the impact of acidity on aging And more.

381: Human Robot's Andrew Foss Wants You to Experience "The Wave" When Drinking Their Lager

381: Human Robot's Andrew Foss Wants You to Experience "The Wave" When Drinking Their Lager

As Andrew Foss of Human Robot (https://www.humanrobotbeer.com) says in this episode, “Perfection is pretty easy. To make something interesting is hard.” Those are easy words to say and harder words to brew by, but the Philadelphia brewer strives for character over lager “cleanliness,” eschewing the “crispy” moniker while searching for something more substantial. To accomplish that goal, he uses every tool at their disposal—mash and decoction regimens, a direct-fire brewhouse, a number of different fermentation schedules, and more. Character, after all, requires intention and effort, and not just homogeneity or simplicity. In this episode, Foss talks about: using a direct-fire mash-mixer and decoction in concert with an array of different malts to produce characterful European-style lagers rethinking mash strategies designed for older malts adjusting the decoction process based on intentions for aroma and flavor building “the wave” in lager mouthfeel dialing in pH for expressive but cohesive lagers differentiating between final gravity and mouthfeel aroma contributions from direct-fire brewhouses embracing inconsistent malt for more flavorful European-style lagers going beyond “clean” And more.
