Today we'd like to publicly thank Averie Swanson for her nearly six years of hard work at Jester King! Averie joined us as a volunteer back in 2013 and worked her way up from apprentice, to brewer, to finally head brewer. During her time she's helped us with pretty much all parts of the brewery (brewing, tasting room, tours, events, and leadership). We're sad to see her go! The good news is she's got some cool stuff in the works we're excited to enjoy when the time comes. Cheers Averie! Thank you for everything and best wishes with the next chapter of your career! @displacingspace
