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. https://twitter.com/FontaFloraBrew

Our favorite IPA got a little makeover. You can expect to find it sporting a fully printed can on your next visit. Below is the description in case you haven’t been introduced properly to this delicious west coast crusher!

HOP BEARD
// Our forever west coast-style india pale ale hopped with amarillo, citra, mosaic and simcoe

Mashed with local barley along with a dash of dextrin malt and a pinch of flaked oats. Fermented with our preferred clean house IPA yeast strain. Hopped intensely with hand-selected amarillo, citra, mosaic and simcoe. Fermented completely for a decidedly dry finish and cold conditioned for beautifully brilliant clarity. Though tweaks and updates have happened throughout the years, we have been making this crushy west coast-style IPA for over a decade. Throughout that decade, we have seen the brewing industry change drastically but the thing that has remained constant is our obsession with this flagship west coast-style called Hop Beard.

Cheers 🍻

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
// our 13yr anniversary hazy double india pale ale hopped with rhapzody along with mosaic t90, cryo and liquid lupulin

Mashed with local malted barley, malted and flaked oats along with a pinch of wheat. Fermented with our preferred haze boi yeast strain for a luxurious mouthfeel and residual sweetness. Hopped extra intensely with rhapzody along with mosaic t90, cryo and liquid lupulin.

Though we don’t typically feel the need to venture into the world of double dry-hopping, (our normal technique is already pretty dang close to that) we wanted to boost our hazy dub dub process and couldn’t be more stoked on the results. These days there are also so many different fun products which help elevate the hop game and we deployed plenty of those in this celebratory offering.

The aroma ebbs and flows between intense swaths of juicy citrus and tropical fruits. For us, the nose explodes with blueberry jam, limeade, sticky mango resin and sun dried peach skin.

Friends, we have entered our teenage years as a craft brewery and we couldn’t be more thankful and humbled to have achieved it. To help mark the momentous occasion, we joyously offer up this celebratory hazy dub dub especially for YOU!

To be here existing in this time and place and to even have the opportunity to celebrate our 13th birthday carries with it an enormous weight and a lot of emotion. We don’t pretend to take any of it lightly and are beyond grateful for 13 years of support on our quest to create liquids with a sense of place and agricultural purpose.

Another in a set of special release b**rs available starting November 7th just in time for our Anniversary celebration, more to come!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US
// our 13yr anniversary west coast-style india pale ale hopped with krush and riwaka along with nectaron t90 and hyperboost

Mashed with local malted barley along with a dash of dextrin malt and a pinch of flaked oats. Fermented with our preferred westy house ipa yeast strain for ultimate crushability. Hopped extra intensely with riwaka, nectaron t90 and hyperboost along with krush, which has become a total house favorite. Fermented fully for a decidedly dry finish and cold conditioned for beautifully brilliant clarity.

Though we don’t typically feel the need to venture into the world of double dry-hopping, (though our normal technique is already pretty dang close to that) we wanted to boost our west coast process and couldn’t be more proud of the results. These days there are also so many different fun products which help elevate the hop game and we deployed plenty of those in this celebratory offering.

The aroma ebbs and flows between intense swaths of juicy citrus and tropical fruits. For us, the nose explodes with grapefruit marm, tangerine peel, juicy mango, sun dried pineapple and peach gummy rings.

Friends, we have entered our teenage years as a craft brewery and we couldn’t be more thankful and humbled to have achieved it. To help mark the momentous occasion, we joyously offer up this celebratory west coasty crusher especially for US! (okay y’all can have some too).

NIGHTFALL OF DIAMONDS
// A moravian cookie-style imperial stout mashed with Mrs Hanes cookies and conditioned on cinnamon, clove fresh ginger and nutmeg.

Created in collaboration with our good friend Matt Caitlin Bostic in Winston Salem North Carolina. Mashed with a base of local barley malt and injected with a decadent blend of the finest caramel, chocolate and roasted malts. For good measure, we tossed in heaps of the world famous Mrs Hanes ginger crisp moravian cookies. Boiled with brown sugar and local sorghum molasses, ingredients that we don’t typically use in our stout program. Fermented with our preferred stout yeast strain for an unbelievably thick body and luxurious mouthfeel. Conditioned on some of the same spices used in the cookies themselves which include cinnamon, clove, nutmeg and finished with local fresh ginger courtesy of Rayburn Farms of Barnardsville, North Carolina.

With a rich demographic of people from Moravia (Czech Republic) in the Winston Salem area of North Carolina, their food and customs have undoubtedly had a profound effect on the region. One of those many influences is by way of food in the form of paper thin and ginger spiced cookies. Using those cookies as inspiration along with actually using those cookies in the mash, Matt helped us understand a bit more about Moravian culture and the cookies that have developed quite the cult following. Rich and luxurious and perfectly spiced, this imperial stout is the perfect liquid cookie treat.

—Available in cans at all three taproom locations this Friday 10.23
