About
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.

Tavour: pours gold with white head. Aroma is grass and lemon and bread. On the bitter side, bready for sure. Lingering aftertaste. Good.

Sample thanks to Grumbo.
Clear gold with a white head. Aroma of bready malts, coriander, orange peel. Taste follows, the orange peel and coriander both stand out against the wheaty/bready malt base, floral notes. Medium bodied. Maybe relying on the adjuncts but honestly this is a solid wit.

Waxed, capped 500 from Tavour. Pours dark brn/blk with a slight, transient dark tan head. Aroma of bourbon and roasty malts. Full bodied indeed. Far from dry. Heat helps offset the sweetness somewhat. Flavor is aroma and a lot more. It's very complicated. Also very delicious.

Can from Tavour. Pours hazy gold with a moderate white head. Aroma is very citrus with a light pine note. Med body. Juicy and lightly sweet. Just enough bitterness for balance. Flavor is citrus, zest, light weed, white grapes perhaps.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear gold with a transient white head. Aroma is bready with grass/spice notes. Crisp, medium body. Nice pale malt not wholly obscured by spicy/grassy hop. Nice level of spiciness. Very good flavor.

16 oz. can, pours a clear blonde with large white head. Nose bursts with intense, tangy Riwaka upfront, with some bitter pine, and crisp crackery malt. Flavour is super bright, with tons of the Riwaka upfront, nice bittering hops, and crisp crackery malt. The Tangier is felt a bit but doesn’t ruin things too much, even though this would be better without it—it does add this weird soil-like character to it. Bright, bitter, and crisp finish. Excellent.

On tap at Holy Mountain - Interbay, pours beautiful slightly dark red with a small white head. Aroma has a wonderful oaky character that accentuates the tart cherries and raspberries, some brett, and gentle acidity. Flavour is remarkably complex, with an incredible tart raspberry and cherry character, deep oak, and wonderful brett character. Divine fruit character that is beautifully accentuated by the oak and wild yeast. Phenomenal.
