The brewery will continue to operate for now.
‘It’s with heavy hearts that we share some tough news. Sarah and I have made the difficult decision to place Fox Friday and subsidiaries into voluntary administration,’ owner Benn Hooper wrote online.
‘When we purchased Fox Friday in March 2019, it was just the two of us in a small factory unit located in Moonah, brewing beer during the week and running a makeshift taproom on the weekends.
‘In late 2020, we opened our Hobart Taproom, and from there, our team grew. We added new venues and breweries, and welcomed incredibly dedicated people to the Fox Friday family.’
Mr Hooper added he and his team were ‘immensely proud of’ the company they’d created.
