MELBOURNE | Since Fox Friday was taken over by current owners Benn and Sarah Hooper in 2019, it’s gone from strength-to-strength. They’ve built a reputation for brewing some of the best beers in Australia, and have expanded their reach from Tasmania, to all across Australia.
In December 2013, Fox Friday opened a Melbourne brewery and brewpub, just around the corner from craft beer hotspots The Royston and Mountain Goat. It’s proven a hit with no just beer lovers, but those looking for a drink of any variety and a good feed.
Inside the converted warehouse you’ll find a space which holds up to 200 people. Rather than the usual converted warehouse aesthetic you find at a lot of breweries, Fox Friday has more of a industrial warehouse meets old school pub feel about it. Bronze and steel compliments timber and natural materials for a surprisingly cosy space.
On tap, it’s the full core range of Fox Friday beers, along with a big selection of rotating limited and seasonal options. Beers from across the style spectrum are on offer, with a particular focus on hoppy, hazy IPAs. For non-beer drinkers, there’s a decent selection of Aussie wines, classic cocktails, and non-alcoholic options.
To eat, there’s a menu of small bites and larger dishes inspired by the US South. Things like burgers, smoked half chicken, Cajun shrimp skewers, and fried chicken tenders.
