Welcome to
Fox Tail Brewing
Adventures in home brewing
Sparked from a true passion for the art of brewing, Fox Tail Brewing is a passionate hobby project!
It all started during Covid! I needed something to concentrate on to hide away from what was happening in the outside world.
So I started to read about brewing. The grist, the hops, the yeast and even down to the water profile, I found the entire topic fascinating. Who’d have thought that so much went into a pint of beer!
I invested in the fantastic MiniBrew system which I can’t praise enough. It’s a great product and allows you to brew fresh and clean beer whilst learning the steps!
Now that I’m more familiar with the process I use the Grainfather G30v3 with two conical fermenters and the GC2 Glycol Chiller, and on occasion I user a Pinter for small batch all grain experiments.

Our Beers
The below are some of the first beers that I created. I don't tend to bottle or can many anymore, they all go into Kegs, then into the Kegerator
Foxās Brush
5.4%
By far my favourite beer to make. a 5.4% hazy IPA made with Mosiac, Citra and El Dorado hops.
ā
This is a 'traditional' Hazy IPA that has plenty of fruity flavours throughout.
ā
This is my go to brew, it's just so so good.
Golden Fox
4.1%
This is a traditional English Golden Ale. Coming in at 4.1% a really nice easy drinking beer.
ā
This is a beer that is 100% best served chilled.
Melanistic Fox
4.5%
This is a surprise package of a beer. Very dark and VERY flavoursome!
ā
These never last long when it's brewed, but if you can resist, it tastes even better if you let it age for a month!!
Summer Fox
3.4%
My first lower alcohol brew. Coming in at around 3.4%, makes it the ideal summer BBQ session ale!
ā
Made with Mociac and Mandarina hops it has a slight orange flavour to it.
Foxy Moves
4.6%
This is an American IPA is brewed using chinook and mosiac hops, partner those withĀ Melanoiden Malt,Ā Pilsner Malt andĀ Maris Otter Pale Ale malt and you have yourself a VERY nice American IPA
Cherry Beer
6%
No wacky fox related name for this beer, as this one one of the first beers that I every brewed. Experimenting with cherry powder in the mash was a fun and colourful thing to do.
ā
This beer has some nice sharp cherry flavouring which comes through at the tail end of drinking.
ā
Made mostly with pilsner malt and some citra hops to give it some extra fruity flavours.
My Breweries
I started with the MiniBrew system and brewed there for a year or so, I then moved to a larger brewery by buying the Grainfather G30, 2 fermenters and a glycol chiller.
Astonishingly clever machine that turns fresh ingredients into chilled consistently fresh craft beers!
Merch
Totally not for sale, but a very fun part of the home brewing hobby, designing your brand and putting some merch together.
T-Shirt
I love wearing this shirt to be honest, it's printed on the front and the back.
Like I said, it's only for fun.
