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.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: amber in color with a light transparency about it and a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: piney and earthy hops up front, slight citrusy hops in the middle? Yeah, I think so, but boy oh boy, are those faint or what! Nice clean caramel/toffee malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine bitter to bittersweet sort of quality; finishes slightly piney and malty
Texture: medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; touch of smoothness with a little bit of dryness on the tongue
Overall: nice enough amber ale I could come back to.

Can to lager glass.
Appearance: yellow to copper color with a two finger white foamy head which dissolved nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: herbal to floral and semi-earthy hops with a subtle bready maltiness underneath
Flavor: does a very nice job of blending the prior noted aromas to a fair and balanced hoppy to malty ratio; finishes crisp and florally
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; good smoothness along the tongue; light little nick of dryness
Overall: to me, it's a nice pilsener that seems like a "modernized" one.

Can to mug.
Appearance: dark amber color with a sly transparency here and there in the glass, one finger white foamy head dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: toasted nuts, clean caramel/toffee malts, subtle earthy tones, light biscuity vibes
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a rounded sweetness; finishes nutty and malty
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, some smoothness but a light earthy grip on the tongue
Overall: I'd say leans closer to being a Marzen rather than a festbier, and yes, I would return to this beer.

Can to snifter.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in color with a finger's worth of khaki foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: big milk chocolate up front with the sweet to toasty notes of hazelnut; light vanilla and some sweet wafery product further underneath
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together in a bold sweet and an underscore of roasty quality; mild finish of the vanilla, milk chocolate and sweet wafer
Texture: medium bodied, good sipper; some smoothness along the tongue but also some of the roastiness does a good job of preventing this beer from being at a lower level of smoothness
Overall: a very nicely done imperial hazelnut stout I would welcome again.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: glossy burnt orange color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated ever so slightly to leave some light lace
Aroma: pineapple hoppy forward; then some grassy hop tones with lemon peel-like hoppiness; light clean malts
Flavor: moderately blends the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet blend; finishes semi-crisp with the pineapple and lemon peel-like hops
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; some smoothness but also some light hop assertiveness, nice low carb
Overall: pretty nicely done NEIPA I would definitely come back to.

Can to becher pint glass.

Part of me does't want to do the entirety of this since I've had Phaze IPA multiple times.
So I'll just say this - yes to the passion fruit, oranges and guava in the aroma, the flavor and since they are authentic I can tell the fruits add a nice meshing of juicy contour in the texture.

Yes, I would come back to this.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: thick hazy orange color with a one and a half to two finger white foamy head which dissipated to leave some messy sticky lace
Aroma: floral/passion fruit to mango-ish & grapefruity hops over top of clean malts
Flavor: bittersweet blend between the prior noted aromas very nicely; mild passion fruity & floral aftertaste
Texture: medium bodied, good sipper; smooth along my tongue; semi-dry to juicy and floral finish
Overall: a very nicely done NEDIPA well worthy of returning to.

Aroma: some grassy hops, light lemon, some biscuity malts
Flavor: blends the prior mentioned aromas together semi-sweet and bright; quick malty aftertaste
Texture: light bodied, very sessionable, crisp and smooth on my tongue, mild malty finish
Overall: I'd say a nicely done pilsner worthy of coming back to.

Can to mug.
Appearance: dark brown color with a three finger khaki foamy head which slid off delicately to leave some messy lace
Aroma: strong earthy to roasty to caramel/toffee malts running into some big danky to earthy and floral hops
Flavor: mirrors the aromas by blending nicely to arrange a semi-sweet to roasty and toastiness. Mild aftertaste of earthy sweet and danky tones.
Texture: light to medium bodied, some sessionability, some smoothness but also some hop grip, finishes earthy danky sweet with enough hops to give the beer that "second glance."
Overall: that hop dosing in this absolutely tells me this is an American brown ale by style and would be one I would return to.
