The staff was knowledgeable and approachable. The facility is beautiful and welcoming...and yes...it is a real farm! We were fortunate enough to hit it on a great weather day in October and enjoyed sharing our experience with families, dogs & other beer lovers.If you're heading from north of Colchester, be sure to grab some bread before you leave and stop off and pick up some cheese at Cato Corner or Beltane on your way. Our favorite pairing was Cato Corner's Blackledge Blue with Fox Farm's Pantry Party.
It is so awesome that we're getting back in to family run, farm brewing here in America (and especially in New England). Re-introducing older styles of beers to the American palate is a grand adventure. We really appreciate brewers who do their research and come up with a great, personalized take on a classic style of beer. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
Fox Farm has one of the coolest concepts we've come across in our beer travels - a beer with all the same grains each brew but using different hops each time. We enjoyed both the Roam - Galaxy and the Roam - Amarillo and it was a fun experience to compare the two. Unfortunately, thanks to AB-InBev's commandeering of the entire South African Hops market, we may never get to have a Roam made with African Queen, Southern Passion or Southern Star. Sucks for us!We highly recommend checking out Fox Farm Brewery and supporting local!
It truly is an awesome time to be a beer enthusiast in New England!Cheers,
Christopher
