Funky Fauna Artisan Ales is coming to Bend! The microbrewery, known for its small-batch, fruit-infused farmhouse ales, has closed its taproom in Sisters. Further, the brewery has taken over the former Humm Kombucha Taproom on 2nd Street. Funky Fauna plans to open its new taproom in April 2025.
Funky Fauna has quickly gained a reputation for crafting one-of-a-kind ales that celebrate traditional brewing methods. Their signature approach involves fermenting beer in oak barrels with native wild yeast, resulting in complex and flavorful pours. Standouts include Strictly Fiction, a whiskey barrel-fermented Saison infused with nectarines, blackberries, and marionberries.
“This is a bit overwhelming for two people and 5,050 square feet of building,” said Funky Fauna’s owner, reflecting on the ambitious expansion. “But we’ve begun chipping away… Please, remember to support your favorite local businesses when you can; they need you. We need you!”
Bend Central District Continues to Grow
The new Funky Fauna location will be nestled along 2nd Street. It’s the latest addition to the Bend Central District, a neighborhood experiencing exciting revitalization. The brewery’s arrival promises to add a unique flavor to the area’s growing craft beer scene. Still, it will continue focusing on the artistry and intimacy of small-batch brewing.
As Funky Fauna prepares to transform the space into their signature farmhouse-style brewery, craft beer enthusiasts can look forward to a lineup of Saison-inspired ales with occasional IPA offerings. The brewery’s commitment to quality, creativity, and community engagement ensures it will be a standout addition to Bend’s vibrant beverage scene.
