Fixation Brewing Co
Fixation was founded in Melbourne in 2015 as a joint venture between the Stone & Wood group and Tom Delmont, a former Mountain Goat sales representative who had spent years chasing fresh West Coast IPA in the United States. The company set out to brew India Pale Ale and nothing else, beginning with kegs delivered by hand to a handful of pubs in Collingwood and Fitzroy. In September 2018 it opened the incubator, a brewery and tasting room at 414 Smith Street in Collingwood, where pilot batches are poured straight from the serving tanks. Since 2021 the company has belonged to Lion, which acquired its parent Fermentum.

How we measure this
Two thresholds are at work here:
- The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
- The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.
A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
The 86
Their beers place in the Top 20% of the catalogue on average, across 6 ranked beers. Consistent rather than spiky — no single standout carrying the rest.
