The bottles span a decade of experimentation, creativity, and commitment to artisan brewing principles and wild fermentation. We hope you enjoy these rare treats.

YoshiOtoko-5 (1).jpg

We're honored, excited, and grateful to announce the release of OH! — farmhouse ale with Sansho pepper brewed in collaboration with Chef Yoshi Okai of Otoko in Austin.

We've been enormous fans of Chef Yoshi for the last several years. His culinary combination of restraint, subtlety, artistry, and creativity is very special, and he's a really friendly, down to Earth person on top of it.

For OH!, we felt a duty to create flavors...

GrimHarvestCompositeDark (1) Large.png

Our 2023 batch of Grim Harvest — farmhouse ale with blackberries — is now available at Jester King.

For Grim Harvest, we brew fresh wort with Hill Country well water, west Texas barley and wheat from TexMalt, fresh and aged hops, then ferment it on the blackberries from Nocturn Chrysalis (barrel-aged wild ale with blackberries). This second "maceration" of the fruit yields a more subtle fruit character, with elements of the base beer...

Danske-1.jpg

We're releasing our 4th batch of Moderne Dansk!Moderne Dansk is our barrel-aged wild ale refermented with Danish Stevnsbær cherry juice from Frederiksdal Kirsebærvin in Denmark.

The character of the Stevnsbær cherries is one of our favorite sensory experiences. The aroma is almost unreal. We created a nice, soft blend of pale/golden wild ale aged in oak barrels for about a year, then re-fermented the cherry juice with the beer to...

While QR codes can be helpful, we miss being able to talk about and present our farmhouse ales and wood-fired pizza to our guests in person. We put a lot of love and connection to place into what we do with local grains,...

Landive JK.png

We're excited to release a new dry-hopped farmhouse ale re-fermented with fresh lime juice, grapefruit juice, and wildflower honey called Landive!

Landive falls in line with our long tradition of making dry, drinkable, low-to-medium strength farmhouse ales with interesting fermentation, fruit re-fermentation, and dry hop flavors / aromas. We brewed with Hill Country well water, Texas malted barley and wheat, and Sabro hops. We...

Mel Erwin, Assistant Production Manager/Brewer at Jester King, on Nocturn Chrysalis – our barrel-aged wild ale refermented with Marion Blackberries.

"I tried Nocturn Chrysalis on my very first visit out to Jester King in 2016 and it completely changed what I thought about farmhouse beers and fruited sours. I had only started getting into funky barrel aged and mixed culture beers and prior to that most sours just tasted like sugar and...

Estival-2 (1).jpg

For our 2022 Estival Dichotomous beer, we made a farmhouse ale with grilled peaches, cardamon, and cinnamon. Our Dichotomous series of seasonal saisons seeks to capture the character of the season in which they're brewed. "Estival" is our summer version.

The peaches were grown last summer at Vogel Orchard in Fredericksburg, Texas. We de-pitted them and grilled some of the peach flesh on a flat top grill & others over an open flame...
