About Fox Tale Fermentation Project

From Fox Tale Fermentation Project's own website and its Google listing, read September 28, 2026.

Fox Tale Fermentation Project is a brewery, market and restaurant on East Santa Clara Street in downtown San Jose, California. Felipe Bravo and Wendy Bravo opened it together in 2022, with Felipe running the brewing side and Wendy leading the kitchen. Its website says it was named Best New Brewery of 2022.

The taps pour Fox Tale's own beers, and the menu also lists mocktails for anyone skipping alcohol. Wendy's cooking draws on years of work in holistic nutrition and plant-focused dishes, and Google tags the spot as a restaurant and a vegetarian restaurant alongside its listing as a brewery.

Its own website describes it as a laid-back neighborhood spot, good for settling in with a book and a beer or catching up with friends. It hosts an open mic for music and poetry on the first and third Thursday of the month, plus a comedy night on Sundays.
