Bolete Smothered Amarosa Fingerling Potatoes with Grand Fir Tip and Preserved Lemon Chimichurri

I got to take a super quick trip up to Mt. Shasta this past week just to go on a hunt with my brother and his family. We found the mother load of Butter and Spring King Boletes, and we’ve prepared some for you! In these adventures I was also so happy to find a beautiful grove of Grand Fir Trees, still showing off their perfect fresh Tips.

This is an Extremely special special, available this week only, until it’s sold out. Do yourself a favor and come try it.

Street Cultura, our house Kölsch featuring floor malted Maizzen Red Corn returns! $6 a glass all day - every day!!!

Floriani Red Corn originated in the New England area of pre-colonized North America. It tastes like berry fruit with dense sweet corn flavor. Hints of earth with unmistakable fresh masa flavor.

Fritz Durst, a farmer Admiral works with in the Woodland area, raises Red Floriani on organically certified, irrigated lands. He is a “regenerative” farmer and typically raises a winter cover crop prior to his spring planting of the corn. The cover crop is first tilled into the soil, and then the corn is planted into moisture along with a liquid seaweed extract to provide micro nutrients.

As always we love working with Admiral and are excited to add their corn into our Cultura beers. Of course More corn lagers will be returning this summer, including some awesome collabs we have in the works 👀👀

Until then…

It’s Gazpacho Season, and we’re starting with a simple but of course, funky version.

Fresh Roma tomatoes blended with our Fermented Giardiniera and Royal Corona Beans make for a perfectly creamy yet refreshing cool soup, paired of course with our favorite Sourdough.

You’ll love it.

Ume season is here!

The first crop of the year are falling from the trees. As it warms up we should expect to collect enough to brew another batch of King Dragon, our umeboshi inspired sour farmhouse ale.

Umes are tart, intensely aromatic fruit prized in Japanese pickling and liqueur making traditions. Somewhere between an apricot and a plum, they have bright acidity, sweet jasmine aroma and subtle salinity depth that makes King Dragon one of our most distinctive seasonal releases.

Our dear friends Paul & Kristin harvest them by hand here in San Jose at peak ripeness. We then carbonic macerate the fruit anywhere from 4-6 weeks before conditioning the beer on the fruit to capture their vivid character.

Stay tuned!

Happiest of Birthdays to the guy making all of our hoppiest dreams come true! Felipe makes up 50% of Fox Tale ownership, but 100% of our hearts. From mastering brewing to destroying the dishes to being the host with the most (plans, ideas, places for you to sit), this guy really does it all.

Next time you see give him a high five and maybe even buy him a beer! He deserves it

Time happens fast and we never got the chance to formally thank our good good dude Giovani for the 3 years he spent with us here at Fox Tale.

came to us a few years ago with hopes of working some weekend shifts after he worked his full week big job, to get into the industry, connect with more folks, learn more about beer, and to just be a part of the fun. He stayed with us for 3 whole years, always showing up when we needed him, being a kind and funny presence to all, and always surprising us with his INSANE nose- this guy can smell and taste any off flavor, any change to the recipe…it’s wild, he’s a super taster!

Gio finally stepped away a bit ago, having fulfilled all the fun he wanted to have with us, and earn his free weekends back again! We’re forever grateful for the time he spent with us, and always love to have him back, on the other side of the bar now!

time you see him, but this guy a drink. He deserves it!

Look how pretty our pickles are.

That stunning blue garlic there? Proof the fermentation went well. The Lactic Acid produced by fermentation creates an acidic environment, which reacts with enzymes in the garlic and transform the cloves into the ultimate green-blue color. If you’re lucky, you miiiiight get one from us, I hear they’re lucky 🍀
