Head to San Jose to explore a hidden homebrew hub and a funky fermentation factory.
Fox Tale Fermentation Project serves up creative beer and fermentation-forward snacks and food in downtown San Jose. I recently spent the day in downtown San Jose, scoping out Clandestine Brewing, a homebrew-oriented beer innovator hiding out in the Guadalupe Washington neighborhood, and Fox Tale Fermentation Project, a downtown brewery and kitchen. They’re both creating an array of diverse, interesting beers that you rarely see these days.deserves to be better known.
Clandestine is, appropriately, somewhat hidden from view behind a hardware store, with a high wooden fence to shelter the shaded beer garden. Inside, there’s a large bar, ample seating and plenty of diversions, including trivia nights, stand-up comedy and “paws and pints” events. There’s an array of snacks for nibbling and food trucks Thursday through Saturday.
Felipe began home brewing in college, before brewing professionally at several Bay Area breweries, including San Carlos’ Devil’s Canyon, San Francisco’s Fort Point and Oakland’s Original Pattern. Wendy is a chef with a decade of experience in holistic nutrition and plant-focused dishes. In addition to the items on the beer and food menu, they also make fermented syrups, hot sauce, sauerkraut, kombucha and more.
On Mondays and Tuesdays, when the doors are locked, the brewery moves from the cellar to upstairs and Felipe tends to the beer and other fermented goodies.
