Funky Buddha has long been revered as one of America’s favorite breweries. Just this year they ranked No. 3 in consumer sentiment according to Foodable Labs! But, did you know Funky Buddha started as a homebrewer's dream?

Founder Ryan Sentz keeps his love for homebrewing alive through the Homebrew Shop connected to their Brewery and Lounge, Funky Buddha’s original location, in Boca Raton, Fla.

Mitch Wilkinson, Digital Content Coordinator at Funky Buddha also shares a passion for homebrewing. Before Wilkinson even worked there, he actually picked up a lot of his knowledge from Funky Buddha’s team.

“I started making my own beers and I was going to the homebrew shop so much and annoying the brewer [by] asking so many questions that they just gave me a job,” he shares.
