It’s the most wonderful time of the year.

And, no, we haven’t morphed back a couple weeks to Christmastime.

It’s time for Funky Buddha’s 2020 Maple Bacon Coffee Porter Festival, taking place on Saturday, January 11.

This year’s fest — which celebrates the namesake gold medal winner in the 2016 World Beer Cup and previously No. 1 ranked porter in the world according to RateBeer.com — is a little different than times past.

The biggest change? Admission is now totally free. (Some prior years required a ticket which essentially equated to buying big bottles of the porter in advance.)

Also, rather than an outdoor affair at nearby Jaco Pastorius Park or a cozy shindig in Funky Buddha’s backlot, this all-day festival (11:30 a.m. to midnight) is taking over the brewery’s Oakland Park tap room and barrel room.

For the MBCP enthusiasts, 2020 marks the first time you’ll be able to snag 12 oz. bottles of the brew, with four-packs going for 15 bucks.

There’s a lot more…
