Fox Farm Brewery resides on a thirty-acre parcel of farmland in Salem, Connecticut. A beautifully restored 1960s dairy barn serves as the epicenter for the brewery and houses a two-story tasting room equipped with a mezzanine. Zack Adams and his wife, Laura, bought the home just a few hundred yards behind the barn with dreams of one day building a brewery with a sense of place. After years of planning and with the help of family and friends, Fox Farm is now a reality.
Although best known at the moment for their hoppy IPAs and pale ales, it is their emphasis on sourcing local ingredients and taking a culinary approach to recipe development that translates into a truly unique experience, setting them apart from being labeled as just another brewery.
“With IPAs and hoppy beers, the secrets are out. People are making those beers all over the world. The farmhouse beers are something that we think are truly unique, [something] that we can bring to the table,” says Zack Adams.
