Feral Brewing first opened in October 2002, and was founded by Alistair Carragher and Brendan Varis [3] with a vision to "craft beers that ... were a little on the wild side". [4] Varis has a degree in brewing and fermentation science and Carragher's background was in hospitality and sales. [5]

In January 2012 the Feral Brewing Company and Nail Brewing formed Brewcorp Pty Ltd developing a brewhouse and warehouse facilities in Bassendean. [6] [7]

In October 2017, Feral was bought by Coca-Cola Amatil. [8]

In late 2024, Feral returned to independence when Coca-Cola Europacific Partners sold Feral Brewing Company to a group of independent owners well known to the West Australian craft community. [9]
