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.

Pours a hazy light amber from a can. Tangerine aroma and flavor is nice. Good beer.

16 oz. can in a trade with ClarkVV, much thanks. The color is a hazy golden hue appearance. Aroma is exactly as the name implies. Straight up pickle juice. The flavor thankfully is much, much better than pickle juice. Mild cucumber and melon through the sip. Shows a very mild dill in the finish. Maybe a hint of salt with a shade of black pepper.

I have to say I was very impressed with my last trip to this brewery. The beers have gotten drastically better since I first visited a few years back. The beers are very creative, tasty, and fun. This particular beer was surprisingly refreshing.

5 oz. draft at the source. Typical appearance. The flavor is bold and bitter just like the aroma would lead you to believe. Floral notes, tropical fruits upfront with a good grain bill. Grapefruit rind, subtle grass. The finish has a mild bitterness that gives a mild juice. But the bitterness is here in full affect. Nicely hoppy and snappy.

5 oz. draft at the source. Almost an amber color. Aroma is really different, almost like hotdog water, very subtle smoke, citrus trying to poke through. The flavor gets more smoky as it warms. Love the name and flavor.

4 oz. draft at Extreme Beer Fest, 3 Feb, 2018. Mildly hazy golden color, bubbly head. Aroma is vegetables, sea salt, basil. Some people loved this, I can’t do it. Flavor of old tomato, acid, vinegar, oak, with a super sour finish.

It was like drinking salad dressing. Was this Unique? Yes it was. Do I like it? No. Entirely to sour for my own palate.

4 oz. draft at Extreme Beer Fest, 3 Feb, 2018. Aroma of burnt brown sugar, earthy grains and milk chocolate. Flavor is not punishingly sweet. Moderate chocolate in the flavor balanced out by caramelized sugars/vanilla, deep earthy grains / roast. The body is full and chewy. Booze is mildly noticed.

4 oz. draft at Extreme Beer Fest, 3 Feb, 2018. Pours pitch black with small tan head that diminishes fast. Oily viscosity in a swirl. The aroma is HUGE vanilla bean, maple sugar, roast. Thick body, roast, vanilla, nice maple, lightly boozy finish. Oily mouthfeel. Nice for a small sample but with the sugar and vanilla it may overwhelm for a larger amount. Sipper for sure. Caution: Contains lactose!
