1. Jester King Brewery

Bar, Market, American

Jester King’s mission is to create beers ‘that reflect the unique character’ of ‘the beautiful Texas Hill Country.’ Tours at Jester King’s are free and reservations are not required. During the tour, one may purchase wine, cider, beer and sake from Jester King’s tasting room menu for consumption at the brewery or to take home. The tasting room menu changes with time, but has offered items such as the ‘Oi Oi’ (a barrel-aged sour brown ale), the ‘Wytchmaker’ (a farmhouse rye), a ‘Texas Keeper Cider’ from Austin and ‘Virtue Cider’ from Michigan. Jester King utilizes water from its own well and locally sourced wild yeast and malted grains. The tasting room and brewery tours are available on Fridays and weekends.
