Bitter Funeral Beer is an album by the Bengt Berger Bitter Funeral Beer Band with Don Cherry recorded in January 1981 and released on ECM the following year.

[1] The AllMusic review by Brian Olewnick awarded the album 4½ stars stating "the combination of stunningly gorgeous repeating themes and inspired improvising make one wish the music would never stop.

This recording, though little known, is one of the very finest items ever released by ECM.

While wonderful in and of itself, it might also serve as a fine introduction to West African music, albeit via a circuitous route through Stockholm.
