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.

Oh wow! Draft at Toronado. If this is steam beer than I have been lied to up til now. Cleanish lagery beer with malty cocoa notes, a mild hop bit, effervescent airiness. Have no idea that its BA or particular rye (the 1st use must have stripped all the negative aspects). Body felt on the cheeks but carbonation cuts through it. Super fun experience.

On tap at Holy Mountain, pours a hazy golden with a large white head. Aroma is lovely for the style, with notes of grass, corn, bready malt and straw. Flavour is the same, with grassy hops, straw and grass. Dry, hoppy, and grassy. Lots of depth and high drinkability. Really nice pils.

On tap at Holy Mountain, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out oak, salt, tart wheat, and funk. Flavour is refreshing, with tart wheat, light salt and citrus. Very well-balanced and refreshing. Not the most complex gose but damn drinkable. Great stuff.

On tap at Holy Mountain, pours a clear bronze with a small white head. Aroma is boozy and yeasty, with considerable hops, alcohol, and diacetyl. Flavour is cloyingly sweet, with way too much sugar. Not complex in any way. Sweet, boozy and somewhat yeasty. Not good.

On tap at Holy Mountain, pours a cloudy pale golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out a good mix of hops and farmhouse yeast. Flavour is well-balanced, with lots of dry hops, farmhouse yeast, and dry crackery malt. Very well-constructed, with high drinkability. Hoppy, dry and funky on the palate. Really nice saison.
