FAWCETTS FACTORY TOUR AHEAD OF THE COLLABORATION BEER

If you didn’t know already, Wily Fox Brewery has just turned 10 years old. That’s right, 10 years of brewing beautiful Wily Fox craft beer.
It’s been quite the journey, and we’ve grown and changed a lot over the years. But one thing that’s always stayed the same is where we source our malt.
From day one, we’ve worked with Fawcett’s Maltsters up in Yorkshire, a family business using traditional malting methods to produce high-quality malt for brewing.
So, to celebrate our 10-year milestone, we’ve teamed up with Fawcett’s to create a special collaboration brew.

But first, Dave and Woody are heading over to meet Bevan, Fawcett’s director, for a factory visit. He’s going to walk us through the malting process from start to finish.
After loading up the lager malt for our collaboration brew, we headed back home ready for the next day, when Bevan joined us at the brewery to help with the brewing process.
From loading up the hopper with malt, to mashing out and cleaning down… and, of course, enjoying a few brews along the way. It was great to have him involved in the full brew day.
The beer is currently in the fermentation vessels, working away over the next couple of weeks.

Our collaboration beer is called Český, and will be available in both cask and keg.
