Description
Holy Mountain is a brewery and taproom located in the Interbay neighborhood of Seattle, founded by co-owners Colin Lenfesty and Mike Murphy in 2014. The influence of oak has always been the focus of the majority of beers brewed at Holy Mountain. A sizable building near the Seattle waterfront has allowed the team to build a vast stock of oak barrels, puncheons, and foudres used for both primary fermentation as well as long-term aging.
The proximity of the brewery to the Yakima Valley also allows the team of brewers to utilize hops from the best producers in the world, constantly exploring the relationship between hops, oak, and mixed fermentation. Holy Mountain doesn't offer any year-round beers, which creates an ever-changing lineup in the brewery taproom. In addition to oak-influenced beers, Holy Mountain also offers a wide range of rotating, hop-forward ales and lagers.

Half pour at brewery. Thick golden, no clarity, light lacing. Aroma is all hop, I guess all Amarillo, which in this case is freshly cut grass with an American bitterness bite. Flavor is all hops with moderate bitterness. I would say these are spicy but not citrus or fruit. Lightly dry bitterness lingers.

1st rater, beat you Chris. TAKE THAT! Abbey and I are out and about looking for potential places to move. We really just want to take advantage of Seattleβs views. Well we found an apartment with views of Mt Rainer all across the apartment, I mean each bedroom and living room. Oh and its right on Elliot Bay, so you have that beautiful view. Unfortunately, we found the perfect place buttttttt we canβt move for another 2 months and this place wnt sit around. The upside, the apartment is close to this brewery and I get to drink this clean and malt lager. Hope bite at end. Not quite as good as the zweikel.

Tulip at brewery. Thick dark golden color, canβt see through it. Aroma is brett- tastic (wild, faintly oily, and whatever horseblanket is) with slightly estery spikes. Flavor is less wild with more herbal brettiness and a good deal of sweetness still leftover. Slightly slick with tingly mouthfeel with a long herbal Brett aftertaste. Like the aroma much more than flavor, needs a little less sweetness but still keep the body.

Draft pour at special brews. Pours a cloudy pale yellow color with no head. Very mild grassy aroma with some sour lemon. Flavor is lighter in body with some mild lemon and orange peel. Hints of spice as well, and has a cool lemon mint finish. Tasty and very easy to drink. Enjoyable beer here.

On tap at The Beer Junction, pours black with a medium brown head. Nose is decadent, bringing out roasted malt, lactose and cocoa. Flavour follows accordingly, with rich roasted malt tempered by the lactose and chocolate. Rye doesn't seem to add much except maybe a slight earthy spiciness. Full-bodied and beautifully balanced. Excellent.
