    Jester King Brewery

    Austin, Texas, United States

    Set on a working ranch in the Texas Hill Country, Jester King is a farmhouse brewery focused on beers of depth, balance, and place. We’re known for mixed-culture, oak-aged wild ales often matured in barrel and bottle-conditioned for nuance — and for a modern clean program that prizes hand-selected hops and advanced hop products to create dry, expressive IPAs that feel distinctly Jester King. We use Texas ingredients when they elevate the beer, especially TX fruit like Poteet grown strawberries and Fredericksburg grown peaches. Today our portfolio spans world-recognized wild ales alongside cutting-edge IPAs, lagers, and stouts — approachable yet nuanced, brewed with patience and intention.

    Brash Brewing Company

    Houston, Texas, United States

    Brash Brewing Company has been a long-time goal of beer lover, Ben Fullelove. Ben owned a bar in Texas that became an obstacle to his plans to establish a brewery because of the state’s three-tier laws. Difficulty finding a good location for the brewery also served as hindrance to Ben’s plans. The Brash Brewing Company came to life when he finally decided to move to Ipswich, Massachusetts. Brash Brewery quickly became popular for its big, bold and unique flavors of beers. Brash Brewing Company continues to experiment on new styles and flavors of beers that would set new trends in the beer community.

    This isn’t a brewery, this is a lab where we tinker and experiment to develop truly unique, hand-crafted beverages. A place where the main ingredient is risk, and the final products are one-of-a-kind. Ours is a sanctuary for styles and flavors that few other breweries in the United States create. It’s why we were named “Best New Brewery in Texas” the year we opened, and why we won’t stop doing what we love until we’re recognized as one of the best craft breweries in the world. From clean, crisp Pilsners to big boozy stouts to tart, fruit-forward sours, we have all the styles covered.
