The early years
It started when a Florida couple bought small brewhouse, hookah lounge and live music venue in Boca Raton, Florida in 2006.[2] On February 5, 2010, founders Ryan and Giana Sentz moved to another location and began brewing their own beers in September.Шаблон:Refn The new location, also in Boca Raton, was named Funky Buddha Lounge and Brewery.[3] In 2012, Funky Buddha announced it would begin using the Cigar City Brewing system to brew and bottle their beer and begin distribution.[4] In the same year they opened a homebrew supply store at the lounge and brewery.[5] The Boca Raton location has a 55 US gallon (210 L) brewhouse.[2] It was the second production brewery to open in Broward and Palm Beach counties, following Due South Brewing.[3] Funky Buddha's success "helped pave the way for what is now a thriving local brew scene".[3]
Growth
In 2013, with the help of his brother KC Sentz, Ryan Sentz opened a second location and production facility in Oakland Park.[2] The Oakland Park location is a Шаблон:Convert building with a Шаблон:Convert taproom with 30 draft lines.[2]Шаблон:Refn Each year since 2013 the brewery has released a limited edition brew, Undefeated Saison. It is released once every National Football League team has lost a game in the current season to commemorate that the Miami Dolpins undefeated season of 1972 remains unmatched.[6]
In 2014, Funky Buddha's Floridian was available at 400 restaurants in South Florida.[7] At that time Floridian accounted for half of the beer the brewery made and sold.[7] Celebrity Cruises announced a four-day Funky Buddha Craft Beer Cruise in 2014 scheduled for March 2015.[8] In 2015 the brewery sold Шаблон:Convert making it a "regional" facility as designated by the Brewers Association.[9] Also that year Funky Buddha's distribution expanded to include North Florida.[10]
