Description
Four Quarters Brewing, founded in March 2014, is a 10 barrel brewery located in Winooski VT specializing in sours, stouts, and hoppy beers.
Four Quarters embodies the cycle of life that each ingredient makes on its way to your glass. A seed is carefully planted and nurtured, growing with the energy of the sun, Earth, wind, and rain. Its fruits are harvested, later the seeds, and the cycle of life starts again. Our logo, the moon phases, encapsulates this cycle, present in every living thing. When we create, we are celebrating the Earth and everything that grows within.
It is our hope, that by thoughtfully crafting each and every beer with this cycle in mind, we can pass to our drinker, not just a glass of delicious brew, but our passion, our love, and our thankfulness, for all things in our natural world. If you’re ever in Vermont, we’d love to have you come visit our taproom.
We also distribute our beer throughout Vermont, Maine, and eastern Massachusetts.

From my brother: pours murky brown with a beige head. Aroma is lightly hoppy, malty, flowers maybe. Taste is somewhat sweet and chewy. Nice malt. Low bitterness. Taste finish and nice aftertaste.

16 oz. can. Aroma of coconut, maybe mild pineapple. Flavor is indeed piña colada, pineapple finish, ends sweet. A touch to sweet for my tastes but not awful.

16 oz. can. Cloudy gold, no head. Aroma is mild watermelon, mild earthy hint. The flavor is for sure bell pepper, plenty of watermelon, kind of juicy. The jalapeño is pretty hidden. Not overly sweet, pretty balanced. Good!

Draught at the brewery, 3/24/18.
Opaque, dark ebony. Tan head fizzles slowly but surely to nothing.
Fudgey, not intensely-so, with dark chocolate and softer vanilla on the edges. Soft, mild, lightly fruity coffee adds a charming, lighter character while light raisin and roast-dotted fudge sit on the end, contributing both balance and heft. Certainly dessert-like or decadent, I suppose, without all of the over-the-top sugar and adjunct dominance. No alcohol noted, nor flaw.
In mouth it shows the fudge from the nose alongside light lactose and chocolate, giving it a creamy-sweet character up front. Light coffee, black malt-like cocoa powder and light coffee rind all create good bitterness/acidity through the middle, balancing nicely. Soft, silky, malty texture with plentiful depth and good attenuation. Low but tight carbonation and no alcohol or flaw. Proof that you don't need 10+% abv and shit loads of booze, sugar and every type of adjunct to make an incredibly rich, flavorful, decadent stout.

Draught at the brewery, 3/24/18.
Warm-toned, sunny orange with moderate haze and a white head fading to a ring.
Soft, mild plaster-like yeast character with strong mango. Not hugely aromatic, the yeast having, perhaps, something to do with that. But solid and without any resin or alcohol. Light pineapple juice as it warms and low malt character. Clean.
Soft, dry, mild with a lightly tangy grapefruit and pineapple character. Sweet honey-like malt is succulent and well-done, drying out nicely on the end. Great bitterness which easily balances and adds juicy grapefruit but doesn't overload the palate. Low, engaging carbonation and no alcohol or flaw.
