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.

Growler @ home via trade. Pours a hazy, bright dark orange appearance with a thin tan head. Spicy pine, orange citrus, quite floral aroma. Some garlic, lemon/orange soda, cracker, and spicy hops in the mouth. A little thin and a touch watery but the hops are nice and itβs refreshingly dry. Iβll have to check out these guys during my next visit to Seattle.
