Samuel Adams Kosmic Mother Funk Grand Cru is Back

It’s that time of year again. Leaves are changing, the air is cooler, Royals are in the World Series, and Samuel Adams Kosmic Mother Funk Grand Cru is back in Kansas City. Unlike last year, we didn’t need a majority vote for them to make a tour stop here. Kansas City shares the tour dates with Austin, Texas, in their sixth week of the tour.

From the Samuel Adams website: “Kosmic Mother Funk Grand Cru is tart, funky, and complex with notes of dark fruits, cherry, cocoa & vanilla. The addition of a small amount of Belgian candi sugar adds a bit of smoothness and hint of sweetness to this vintage.”

I had some last year and it’s a treat, so be sure to get yourself a glass. KMF will be available at the following 17 locations around the metro starting this week. Supply is limited.

It’s Funky in KC!

Samuel Adams Kosmic Mother Funk has officially hit the taps in Kansas City bars. Only 17 locations will be serving up this exclusive beer until the kegs run out.

Last night, I drank my share of KMF at Rusty Horse Tavern in Parkville. A few Samuel Adams employees were present to promote the beer and chat with invited vendors and bar patrons. With only two 1/6 barrel kegs, it’s important to get your fix in early. As of 5pm on Thursday, Rusty Horse still had some on tap. Here are a few pictures of the beer.

As a reminder, here are the locations KMF will be.

Samuel Adams Kosmic Mother Funk to Make Stop in Kansas City

It’s a great time to be in Kansas City! The Royals are in the World Series, the Chiefs won against a division team, Sporting KC are looking good to make the playoffs, and we have been voted to be the final stop on the Samuel Adams KMF tour!

We beat out cities from 37 states to be named the closing act on this tour. The dates and locations have yet to be decided, but it will most likely be at the end of November or early December in anywhere from 4 to 22 different area bars. This will be the first time for Samuel Adams to take their KMF Grand Cru out of their Boston Brewery. They are half way through their tour and are currently in Washington DC and Philadelphia.

The Kosmic Mother Funk is a one-of-a-kind Belgian ale that is fermented with Brettanomyces, Lactobacillus, and other micro-organisms found in the environment of their 150-year-old brewery. It is aged in large oak barrels for over a year. KMF is a tart and funk with complex notes of dark fruits, cherry, cocoa, and vanilla that are brought together by a small amount of Belgian candi sugar that also adds a bit of smoothness and hint of sweetness. With only 9.4 IBUs and a 6.4% ABV, this beer is smooth drinking.
