FUNK YEAH if you want a gueuze with more presence and weight,
Jacobins if you want classic, elegant restraint.
Both sit at nearly identical IBU levels, so this isn't about bitterness—it's about body and intensity. Beachwood's version punches a bit harder at 6.5% ABV, while De Brabandere keeps things refined and traditional. Neither is "better," just different philosophies on the same old-world style.

FUNK YEAH
FUNK YEAH hits you with a rounder, more substantial mouthfeel than you'd expect from a gueuze. There's a vinous quality that feels almost wine-like, with dried stone fruit and a tannic grip that lingers. The sourness is sharp but not aggressive—it's got backbone, which is exactly what the higher ABV brings to the table. This one rewards slow sipping.
Jacobins Gueuze
Jacobins is what happens when a brewery respects centuries of tradition without overthinking it. It's dry, crisp, and delicate—almost ethereal on the palate. The funk is subtle, the carbonation precise, and the sourness feels like a whisper rather than a shout. This is the gueuze you drink to *taste* gueuze, not to be impressed by it.
