We're excited to announce that as of this week, we're fully back to in-person ordering of food and drink at Jester King. This is the way it was at Jester King from 2011 to 2020, and we're glad to get back to our roots. Why? 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,...

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...

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...

We love brewing hoppy farmhouse ales (arguably our favorite thing to make), and up until now we haven't done one with exclusively New Zealand hops.

So we're happy to introduce Jester King Bird Bump — hoppy farmhouse ale brewed with New Zealand Motueka, Rakau, and Nelson Sauvin from our friends at Freestyle Hops. The fruity, tropical character of the hops melds really well with the fermentation profile from our mixed culture. Aside from...
