We're happy to introduce a new beer called EEZY PEEL* — farmhouse ale refermented with mangoes! We find this beer simple, fun, highly drinkable, and really enjoyable. It's quickly emerged as a staff favorite here at Jester King.

EEZY PEEL* is a farmhouse ale brewed with well water, TexMalt Llano Pilsner, Denton County Wheat Malt, and a touch of raw wheat. We kettle hopped it with Organic Golding from The Oregon Hophouse for about 18...

This week's coolship fill marks our 10th season of making 100% spontaneously fermented beer at Jester King! Our first coolship season was the winter of 2012-2013. We developed a love of spontaneously fermented beers from drinking authentic Belgian Lambic and Gueuze. After visiting Belgium in 2012, we wanted to see if spontaneous fermentation would be possible in Texas. We already knew at the time that it could be done in the United States...

We're grateful to be celebrating our 11th year of Jester King! Year 11 was a big one for us. We released our first wine and cider, added BBQ to our kitchen menu, opened the Jester King Inn, built Noble's Nest — a natural playscape for our younger...

We've brought Commercial Suicide back to its English roots by re-brewing the original Dark Mild Ale. Commercial Suicide was our first beer released back in October of 2010. Its name came from it being too low alcohol for beer geeks and too dark in color for macro beer drinkers, essentially creating no audience.

In returning it to its English roots, we brewed it with Golden Promise base malt, English caramel malt, and a touch of English...

Black Atrial is back! This is our original Black Metal Imperial Stout refermented with four pounds per gallon of raspberries.

To make Black Atrial, we brewed a batch of Original Black Metal Imperial Stout.

At Jester King, we make food & drink uniquely tied to a time, place, and people.

We’re now offering a full BBQ menu, complete with ribs, brisket, pulled pork, and more. Developed by Executive Chef Mason Huffman and the Jester...

We're happy to introduce 2021 All-Texas SPON -- our first beer brewed with 100% Texas ingredients!

Brewing a beer with 100% Texas ingredients has been an aspiration and challenge for us for the better part of our existence. We've worked with well water, local grains, and native yeast for a long time, but what eluded us was Texas-grown hops. Our effort to establish hops at Jester King is still a work in progress. We experimented with...
