Figueroa Mountain 4th Anniversary

Figueroa Mountain 4th Anniversary

Four years ago, Figueroa Mountain Brewing Company was a small operation producing only 100 barrels of craft beer per year. Recently they hit a milestone with new tanks, new taprooms and an increase in annual production to 20,000 barrels. The 4th Anniversary Ale releasing this month is a Belgian-style Abbey Quadrupel with figs. Crafted in the traditional style of Trappist monastery breweries, this year’s Anniversary Ale was aged in oak barrels with figs: an ancient and sacred fruit. “This massive dark beer is heady with dark fruit aromas along with deep caramel notes and a deep malt backbone. The delicate spiciness of the traditional Belgian yeast adds character along with influence from the oak barrels producing an overall complexity,” says Director of Brewing Operations, Mike Hastings.
