Fury & Son

We won't lie. When we first saw there was a new brewing company set to start up in Melbourne going by the name Fury & Son, our initial thought was that it could be some hipster brand. Fury & Son: it seemed to possess an air befitting the sort of tattoo, barber and gentleman's outfitters salon you can find lining the country's more fashionably boho strips. Then we went to the brewery...

It turns out that Fury is indeed a person rather than the figment of a marketer's imagination. And, indeed, that Fury – real name Reno Georgiou – is no hipster, but rather the businessman behind a successful window manufacturing business in Keilor Park. What's more, his nickname comes from his temper, so we hope he appreciates where we're going with this listing or The Crafty Pint may not be welcome back at the brewery in a hurry...

The Son is Andrew, with whom Reno had been brewing at home for around 15 years before they decided to step into the commercial realm. Prior to launching Fury & Son, he was working as a pharmacist but dreaming of doing something into which he could put his heart. And that turned out to be craft beer.

Their move from occasional homebrewing partners to owners of towers of stainless steel came to fruition in the winter of 2016. They'd taken over a cavernous industrial unit not far from Reno's window business – one that previously housed a Chinese run $2 trinket business, some of which you might still spot around the brewery. There they installed a 25 hectolitre brewhouse alongside some brand new fermenters and a bottling line. And then they added a brewer.

At launch, there were two core beers: an approachable New World Pilsner and punchy, relatively malty American Pale Ale. Seasonals followed, ranging from a lightly peated, hearty Scotch Ale to a mid-strength hoppy sour, while the core range soon welcomed an IPA.

They're all presented in strikingly simple and elegant packaging, packaging that puts independence as well as the family ownership of the business front and centre. And they quickly found favour too, not just with the Melbourne drinkers who were first to get their hands on the beers but the country's finest experts too: at the 2016 Craft Beer Awards the Pale collected a gold medal, while there were bronzes for the other two – not bad going for the first brews put through the system.

For a period, they welcomed guests to a venue at the brewery too, but licensing issues – not to mention the impact of COVID – saw them return their focus to brewing beer. And it's one that's continued to expand over the years, with various stouts appearing each winter, fruity sours in summer, and a barrel program augmenting their offer as and when the liquids inside oak are ready for release.

Fury & Son IPA

Published November 16, 2016
He may be a sucker for big, malty brews but, with a brewing CV that includes stints at IPA loving Mountain Goat and The Monk, where he tweaked their trophy-winning Chief IPA en route to winning a Champion Brewery title, it's fair to say Fury & Son's head brewer Craig Eulenstein knows his way around an IPA. And it's the rampantly popular beer style – just see the size of our two-part IPA Blind Tasting to see how many are being produced locally now – that joins the New World Pilsner and American… Read more

Fury & Son Pilsner

Published June 1, 2016
There's been a swing back towards brewing lagers in the craftier realm of Australia's broad beer spectrum in recent times. Yet there's still not too many small brewers who've put one front and centre of their core range. However, this New World Pilsner is one of Fury & Son's two launch beers, alongside an American style Pale Ale. New World pilsners – particularly those popularised in New Zealand – can be relatively full on; a step or two above where the new-to-craft beer drinkers that Fury… Read more

Fury & Son Pale Ale

Published June 1, 2016
Before returning east to take up the post at Fury & Son, brewer Craig Eulenstein won the title of Champion Small Brewery at the Craft Beer Awards while at The Monk in Fremantle. Clearly, the judges like what he does as this beer – the first brewed at his new Keilor Park workplace – collected a gold medal at the 2016 awards. As hinted at by the Jaguar Racing Green livery it's sporting, it's a pale ale with a fair bit under the hood, an American style pale ale that wanders close to amber territory… Read more

Fury & Son A Day Late Peach NEIPA, Red Ale & Black IPA

Published September 1, 2022
With so many new releases these days pale, hop-driven and usually hazy, it makes for a pleasant change to receive a trio from one brewer that lands in such distinct parts of the colour spectrum. OK, so each of these beers from Fury & Son still features much in the way of hoppiness, but they do take the drinker to different places. Peach NEIPA looks like one of the OG NEIPAs – pouring opaque as, no doubt aided by the 20 percent fruit nectar in each can. And given you can get peach / stonefruit… Read more

After sharing – and enjoying – a bottle of their Feijoa Farmhouse at the weekend, I had a text conversation with Andrew, the Son in Fury & Son, during which I pointed out: "Who'd have thought you and your dad would be responsible for putting out beers like this when we first met!"

With the benefit of hindsight, those of us on the East Coast who've been through multiple extended lockdowns should have fully expected the planet to serve up a rotten spring as soon as we were able to travel and get together with friends and family again. After all, if the progression from 2019 ("Roll on, 2020!") through 2020 ("Well, at least we've made it through the worst...") to 2021 ("Are you fucking kidding?") has taught us anything right now, it's to expect the… Read more

Fury & Son Hazy IPA & Red IPA

Published September 13, 2021
As prevalent as hazy beers are in the modern beer landscape, there’s still breweries dipping their toes into such waters. Fury & Son’s Hazy IPA is the first such can to come from the Keilor Park brewery, launching at the start of spring 2021 alongside another hopped-up release. "Better late than never" are the words on the back of the can and that certainly seems apt, given the hazy beer is at once dripping with hops and rather sessionable. There's an immediate hit of mango juice… Read more

Fury & Son Padre Coffee Brown Ale & Shiraz Barrel Aged Imperial Stout

Published July 26, 2021
The continued cold of Victoria’s winter is being met by two warming releases from Fury & Son Brewing. Padre Coffee Brown Ale is a collaboration with the Melbourne coffee roasters, who provided single origin Ethiopian Chechele beans to the brewers. Those beans in turn provide substantial fruited notes too, with cherry and redcurrant leading the charge and joined by notes of burnt sugar and a touch of caramel in a dark brown ale with a biting bitter finish. From dark to darker, Shiraz Barrel… Read more

Fury & Son Imperial Fruit Sours

Published June 3, 2021
Look, they've not gone as hard as they did with their series of stouts for 2021 – which you can read about here – but, clearly, Fury & Son aren't the sorts to just do things once when it comes to one-offs. If the world of dark chocolate and roast isn't for you, maybe souped up fruit sours are more your thing? Imperial sours feel like an area fraught with danger – will the sour side be allowed to become overbearing, or will the desire to boost booze result in something overly sweet and sticky?… Read more

Fury & Son Stout Series 2021

Published June 2, 2021
Well, winter is the season for stouts so, if you're going to release one, why not release four? That's the approach at Fury & Son, who've released a straight take on the style plus three variations on the theme. Stout starts things off by aiming for pretty much the middle of Stoutland: dark brown more than black, led by cacao more than roast, you'll pick up some toasted nuttiness and figgy dark fruits before a drying, gentle bitterness laced with dark chocolate flavours finishes things off.

Fury & Son Double IPA, SXC Double IPA & Zesty Bouquet

Published October 13, 2020
Fury & Son have made a habit of spinning two beers from one concept as 2020 has progressed, and they're at it again with a double whammy of double IPAs. The reappearance of their Double IPA will be familiar to those who've sampled past releases: sure, there's plenty of piney, citrusy hops at play but, as with DIPAs out of the US way back when, the specialty malts contribute layers of dark caramel too. Its stablemate, SXC, stands apart in delivering a more potent punch on the hop front. The title… Read more

Last time we spoke to Andrew Georgiou, the son in Fury & Son, he was putting forward a stack of cartons of beer as prizes for Beer Swag Day as part of the #keepinglocalalive campaign. What he didn't mention at the time was they had also got a few beers taking shape in barrels, with Funk The Pain Away the first of a quartet over the coming months.

The Fury & Son brewers kept themselves busy during lockdown playing around with variations on a theme. They've been working on four barrel-aged beers and also took their stout, boosted it from the previous years' 5.5 percent ABV to 6.5 and decided to give it three twists (of which we missed the first two but have the third below).

The Scotch Ale was the first seasonal release from Fury & Son back in winter 2016. It's returned since, with the peated smoke and Islay whisky like character increasing from that debut in the following year's release, while remaining thick, sweet and awash with treacle like flavours underneath. It's been a while since we last made acquaintance with the beer and plenty of others have passed our way in that time but, if memory serves correct, the winter 2019 edition seems to lean even more into… Read more

Fury & Son Long Hot Days

Published December 6, 2018
For their 2017/18 summer seasonal, Fury & Son put out the mid-strength Citra Sour. A year on, as every man and his dog looks to release some sort of lower ABV fruity sour, the Keilor Park team has decided to follow a more traditional path with a water, malt, hops and yeast summer ale. So, while the cans are funky to look at, what's inside is rather more straightforward. It's tagged a "hoppy kolsch" and, while there are some ripe tropical fruits at play, there's a pretty full, bready,… Read more

For the release of their first can, Fury & Son aren't messing about. Not only have they gone for tallboys complete with a striking purple label, but they've popped their biggest beer to date inside it: a double IPA weighing in at 8.6 percent ABV. They describe it on the label as "a full-bodied and boozy treat" and they're not wrong. There's plenty of hops crammed in, delivering predominantly piney characters with a touch of citrusy fruit at play too, but there's a solid supporting act… Read more

Fury & Son Stout

Published July 3, 2018
For its first two winter seasonals, Fury & Son put out a big, chewy Scotch Ale, an insight into then head brewer Craig Eulenstein’s passions. Now, with a new brewing team in place, winter 2018 sees them switch to a style more readily associated with the time of year: a stout. It’s one that comes with the sort of elegant-austere packaging more readily found on imperial stouts (or premium home audio equipment) yet which offers a much more everyman experience. It’s a drinking stout – plenty… Read more

Fury & Son Citra Sour

Published November 17, 2017
Heading into summer, Melbourne's Fury & Son has entered the world of sour beers. Well, sort of. Their summer 2017/18 seasonal is the Citra Sour and is most definitely seasonally appropriate and distinctly Citra-fied; it's not particularly sour, however, but that's no bad thing and, presumably, by design. It's a pale straw pour, one in which any head soon dissipates to the extent you could pass it off visually as a glass of white wine and in which the aromas are dominated by the citrus and passionfruit… Read more

Yet, while most talk around the craft beer water cooler is of IPAs, sour beer styles and barrels at the minute, it's fair to say this has been a winter well served with hoppy reds and ambers, India red ales and the like.

Melbourne's Fury & Son launched as we were heading into the coldest months in 2016 and thus had good reason to let head brewer Craig Eulenstein indulge his love for rich, malty dark beers from the off. The brewery's first seasonal release was a 7.5 percent ABV Scotch Ale and, 12 months on, the beer is back by popular demand, albeit somewhat altered from its original form. The 2017 vintage is the same strength and retains the same focus on rich and dark, but there's been some tweaking of the recipe,… Read more

Fury & Son Grapefruit Session Ale

The year of fruit beers continues apace. This time around, it's grapefruit taking centre stage and doing so not in a sour or an IPA but in a humble little session ale. And when we say "centre stage" we mean it as the 400 litres of fresh, unprocessed grapefruit juice the Keilor Park brewery obtained from Mildura are far and away the dominant character. They've been added to a pale, unobtrusive base beer, creating a hazy, um, juice like appearance in the glass. There's some American hops… Read more

Having worked together to come up with a core twosome to represent Fury & Son, Andrew and Reno Georgiou let their brewer decide where he wanted to go for his first seasonal. As they were coming into winter, it was always likely to be something bigger and darker. And, if you know Craig Eulenstein, there was always a good chance it would end up something like this.
