Description
Fonta Flora Brewery integrates the soul of agriculture with the artisanship of zymurgy to create a menagerie of rustic and savory libations. With an emphasis on seasonal flora, Fonta Flora brings English tradition and Belgian inspiration to the Appalachian mountains of North Carolina.

Fonta Flora utilizes local artists to help conceptualize the notion that fermentation is yet another medium for creating art. This uniquely artisan approach to beer yields a sustainable product filled with culture from our very own community.

Single via Appalachian. Pricey $5.22 can. Lo-ball at home.

Suddy, filtered(if dull), medium gold.
Floral, sour/twangy dank laced with dry mango fruit tape.
Danky, floral-sweet hop front end, low volatile, low initial bitterness but there is some bite that builds up. Catty Simcoe. Very sour pineapple middle, end suddenly gets tea tannic & gives some soft mango skin.
Frothy, acidic-sweet turning dry, kinda boozy.

Liked this one.

Can via Appalachian. Cracker into a pint glass between some smoked boars head hotdogs. Two of my favorite breweries, who cares that it's two months old...

Medium-light pale gold pour with a thin but heady white wash.
Melon + grassy nose. Secondary floral that lingers.
Flavor start off floral, a bit of sweetness, earthy bite, old wood, lingering yeasty finish. Small bit of caramel. Some banana yeasties become noticable as it warms. Just a wink of astringentcy but it needs a bit more bite.
Full carb, very plush feel, texture is very soft, low acid, low abv session loves you.

Cheers.

Very, very sweet, but not a whole lot of pine or citrus or dank notes to offset the sweetness. Orange and tropical fruit and bubblegum but growing cloy as it warms. Unbalanced, but not undrinkable.

Draught @ Hopleaf, Chicago IL (June 2026). Clear beet red with a large foamy pinkish head, very faint beet aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter taste with light beet flavor, pine in the background, thin body, long bitterish finish. Interesting brew, beet goes well with the hoppiness.

16oz can from Tavour. Dark brown, opaque pour, head fades fast. Aroma brings the expected banana notes of a weizen. Strong banana in the taste too, minor roasty, chocolate flavors too. Mild sweetness too.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear bright gold with a moderate white head. Aroma of pale/bready malt with some yeast and citrus. Med body at least. Dry, lightly sweet but there's certainly enough bitter to balance. Flavor of bready pale malt, citrus and some yeast and/or grass/spice. Don't really get rice, so I guess the heirloom is more flavorful than the plain stuff.

Kinda ticks all the boxes for why this style is not my cup of tea: overhopped, astringent, sweet, and weirs chemical flavor that makes the back end taste like how OFF! bug spray smells. Just not my thing.

Haymaker on draught: pours gold with white head. Aroma is floral, barrel, funky. Taste is fairly sour, low sweetness. Nice floral notes. Pleasant.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear bright gold with a moderate white head. Aroma is bready with a little floral hop. Med body. Fairly dry despite the malty/breadiness. Enough bitter, and not taking much, to balance. Hops seem to be lightly grassy/spicy. No long thinking floral. It's light overall, but quite refreshing.

Too sweet for my blood. Quick burst of mango and peach, then quickly devolves into marshmallow fluff and lemon candy and creamsicle. Grows astringent as it warms but stays sweet. Not for me.
