Funky Buddha Brewery Maple Bacon Coffee Porter

funky buddha brewery maple bacon coffee porter
Here at the Manual, we’re total advocates of having breakfast any time of the day, in anything. There’s the famous Secret Breakfast ice cream, which is made with bourbon, caramelized corn flakes at Humphry Slocombe in San Francisco; hamburgers with bacon and eggs and Funky Buddha Brewery’s latest special release, the Maple Bacon Coffee Porter. Here’s what the folks over at this Oakland Park, Florida brewery say about it:

“Evoking a complete diner-style breakfast in a glass, Maple Bacon Coffee Porter is a complex beer with a multitude of flavors at play. It pours an opaque ebony brew with a frothy tan head. Aromas of sticky maple syrup, coffee, and cream creep forth from the glass. The mouth feel is luxuriously creamy, with layers of sweet malt, toffee, and roast giving way to waves of smoke, coffee, and salted chocolate. It finishes sticky, rich, and sweet, with the flavor of maple syrup lingering pleasantly on the tongue.”

Hints of bacon, coffee and maple in a smooth porter? Sounds amazing to us. It’s everything we love about the first meal of the day rolled up in to one delicious beer, so we can enjoy it during happy hour, or while watching the game, or to unwind after a long day at the office. And if you’re curious about Funky Buddha Brewery’s other special releases, so are we. They include names like Don’t Tell Reece Peanut Butter Cup Brown Ale, Chocolate-Covered Cherry Porter, Bonita Applebum, Blueberry Cobbler Ale, Dubbel Dragon and Actchung, Daddy! Berlinerweiss. Now doesn’t that sound interesting?

While America might be infamous for its red meat culture of steaks, burgers, and world-class Texas brisket, it's not the only country with amazing beef. With their vast landscapes and pristine environments, Australia and Tasmania produce some of the highest-quality beef and lamb in the world — and with a different ecosystem and a unique method of cattle rearing, Australian beef is in a league of its own.

Learn these amazing spring cooking tricks from a Michelin Star chef
Spring is an exciting time but we don't always know what to cook this time of year. Here are some expert ideas
Chef Vikas Khanna

Spring is an exciting time for eaters. More and more fresh produce shows up at the market and store and the days begin to beg for lunches at the park and evening dinner parties. But it's not always simple to know what's in season and how to maximize flavors during these months that guide us toward summer.

One thing we do know is that we love a good spring cocktail, like a Cherry Blossom Sour, during the spring season. There are more spring fruits and vegetables to work with than you might think, and the warmer weather thaws the soul.

It’s time to learn about bourbon — here’s your guide
Put down the IPA and meet the actual coolest drink in town — bourbon
Boubon in a glass

Hello class, and welcome to Bourbon 101. Don't worry; we're not like those other schools where you aren't allowed to drink during class. We're cool. Now, get your notebooks and a glass of whiskey ready because it's time to dive into the history of this America's spirit.

It would be hard to find something more American than bourbon, except for maybe a bald eagle draped in an American flag with a baseball and an apple pie clutched in its talons. In any case, the history of bourbon follows the highs and lows of our country as a whole with good times, great times, and really bad times. It was built with ingenuity in a time of great hardship and flourished despite the best efforts of outside forces.
What exactly is bourbon?
It's time to dive into a little American history here. Look, even if you weren't a fan of history class, this is a pretty fun subject. In case you're unaware, bourbon is highly regulated by the government in nearly every way (and that's a good thing). To be legally called "bourbon," there are several rules that need to be followed:
