433. Function Brewing (Bloomington, IN) - Odds

“A Mosaic and Citra-hopped Hazy IPA with additions of lactose, vanilla, apricot, peach, and tangerine.”

I tried this one both in the taproom and in a crowler, and it is aggressively fruity up front—almost tart—but with smooth vanilla sugar notes on the back end. Hard to say if I like it or not—but it’s interesting.

432. Function Brewing (Bloomington, IN) - Supplementary

“A Hazy IPA featuring Simcoe and Wai-Iti hops.”

It’s not often that we are in Bloomington at the same time that Function Brewing is open, so I made the most of it on our most recent trip to see Carrie Newcomer in concert. After a day of traipsing around campus and then Nashville in the cold wind coming from the back side of a powerful storm system, we stopped in at Function both to sit down for a drink and so I could get some crowlers to take home. This was one of the crowlers that I took home, and it was pretty good. It’s very smooth and easy drinking, with moderate citrus notes when it’s cold and somewhat more prominent stone fruit notes as it warms up.

153. Function Brewing (Bloomington, IN) - Oval

“Pale Ale brewed with Eukanot, Michigan Copper, and Mosaic hops.”

Also unremarkable. Neither this nor Diameter were bad, though.

152. Function Brewing (Bloomington, IN) - Tangent

No description that I can find, but it had a strong bitter finish that was a little bit off-putting at first, but became more and more interesting as it warmed up.

151. Function Brewing (Bloomington, IN) - Diameter

“NEIPA with Citra and Idaho 7 hops.”

Should be right up my alley with the New England style and the Citra, but I found it unremarkable.
