About
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.

Bottle from Tavour. Pours translucent gold with a transient white head. Aroma of lemon and rye. Med body. Lightly tart. Flavor is lemon, rye, and arguably something lacto/pedio - definitely not Brett. Clean tho, and drinks nicely.

Bottle courtesy of Bacchus66. Pours a burgundy/off-red color with a small fizzy pink head. The aroma is tart with cherries, raspberries and some funky stuff. The taste, like the aroma, is tart without being obnoxiously so. In the taste I get sour cherries, raspberries and jams. The palate is full and a bit acidic. Finishes long with lingering sour berries. Overall: top shelf stuff. paired well with some swiss cheese

Honey orange body, turning more grapefruit-colored as gets chunky. Sour tangerine/apricot nose. Black pepper. Cut grass. Juicy, yeasty, twangy sour. Bittersweet. Peach, bitter lime, brine, lingering orange juice acid. Yeasty, bitter, frothy, acidic, okay abv. Good.

Pounder from Appalachian. NB glass. Strong, lingering head. Foggy brew. Mellow but lingering tea, orange slices, light coriander, maybe some oxidation/peanut. Smells great. Tasty additions are more subdued. I get a lot of earthy yeast, peanut, slight coriander, some lemon, some mint, lingering bitter tea. Seems oxidized. Life is oxidized. Frothy, low abv, easy. Started off good, really dropped off.
