OUR STORY
Fox’s kiln distillery STORY
As a chef for more than a decade, our founder Jared Brown has always been passionate about working with natural ingredients.
Bored by his office job, he decided to open a microbrewery at Gloucester Docks in 2011 and this grew into the award-winning Gloucester Brewery you see today. It prides itself on creating great tasting sustainable beers with little impact on the environment.
In 2019, excited by the creativity and opportunities in the gin industry, Jared embarked on a new journey – distilling.
He went back to school to learn how to balance the botanical combinations to create the perfect gin without the need for any artificial ingredients.
In early 2020, a 100-litre Genio still arrived at the brewery at Fox’s Kiln, a former Victorian malthouse. Inspired by the history of the building and the surroundings there was only one name for the new venture – Fox’s Kiln Distillery was up and running.
As well as creating our four original gin flavours, Jared loves to experiment with ingredients found locally to produce special edition spirits. Our summer special was a wild elderflower and lemon balm gin made using ingredients from a nearby farm.
We have also now brought our own range of vodkas available in our shop now.
