History

Feral Brewing first opened in October 2002 and was founded by Alistair Carragher and Brendan Varis, with a vision to "craft beers that ... were a little on the wild side". Varis has a degree in brewing and fermentation science and Carragher's background was in hospitality and sales.

In January 2012 the Feral Brewing Company and Nail Brewing formed Brewcorp Pty Ltd developing a brewhouse and warehouse facilities in Bassendean.

They bottle four year-round beers: the Feral White (also known as the Belgium White), the Hop Hog (an American IPA), Smoked Porter (a smoked beer or Rauchbier), Sly Fox (a Session Blonde Ale) and the Karma Citra (a Black India Pale Ale). Beers are available for purchase from retail outlets.
