Drove out here with my wife on a Saturday afternoon, the only time it’s open. Good gravy, am I glad I found that out before hitting town and that our timing worked out. It’s basically rural, with the brewery on a hill at the end of a gravel road off Fitzhugh Rd. The brewery has a tasting room and the main operation with a cellar underneath. There are bathrooms in an Airstream trailer down the drive and a big pavilion with picnic tables. Many other tables are closer to the tasting room under trees. Another pavilion has a pizza oven and they sell bottles (got around a stupid state law!) but I’m an idiot and let two bottles I wanted sell out - learn from me, buy any bottles you want first. They give you a glass when you arrive for $10. It includes a tasting menu with the day’s offerings in the tasting room and at the tent outside where they pour from bottles. Nice glass, too! 10 options; 5 JK taps, 1 guest, and 4 bottle pours. You get 1 of each. Great deal. Staff was super friendly and cool. Answered all my annoying beer geek questions. We didn’t do the tour, of which there are three during the day. We just relaxed and drank our samples. The beer is world-class. The place can’t be any more relaxed, friendly, and fun. Maybe my favorite beer place to date.

Great brewery. They have lots of open space that is reminiscent of a farm. Ten dollars gets you a glass, three pints of beer and a tour of their little brewery. Only real problem is that during the summer everybody wants to crowd into the tiny bar area. I love Jester King though, probably my favorite Texas brewery.

Only marking JK down by 2 points because they were not offering growlers yet when I visited, but I am told the pizza joint on site will be selling them starting January 2013 - along with the bottle list they currently offer. The brewery & tasting room are only open to the public on Saturdays between 1:00 pm and 4:00 pm - check their website for details. Gorgeous old stone barn brewery/tap room had some of the mainstay brews on draft, and a small tent outdoors poured rare smaller tasters. Country band played most of the afternoon. So glad I got to visit this place. A bit of the French/Belgian countryside in the heart of Texas.

This is a great place to go on a Saturday afternoon in Texas Hill Country. Located on several acres in Austin it screams farmhouse ale brewing and this brewery lives up to that expectation. Great beer, great location, great music, and fun Austin people.

This could be my favorate brewery setting in the country. Minus the live-fire gun range next door, this place is amazing! great staff that are ever so friendly (and love metal!), great setting for a farmhouse brewery and just a lovely saturday afternoon having some great beers for a very good price. There needs to be more places like this around the country. Everytime im in this area on a saturday, i will definately go back!

Went to the Grand Opening with ericandersnavy and mora2000 on 01/29/2011. Wow, this place was packed. I didn’t think they expected several hundred people to show up but they did have the space, acres of land and several severs pouring beer. The brewery reminds you of being on a farm, wide open spaces, a rustic pavilion, live oaks everywhere. I really wish we didn’t have a 3 hour drive back to Dallas, I could have stayed here all day long! If you go, bring some chairs!

this was a great grand opening for a new and exciting brewery in austin. lots of open space and a nice rustic look and feel to the place in texas hill country. great beers on tap flowing. due to the large number of people that showed up the lines became increasingly long. i can’t wait to go again and plan an RBWG with these guys involved.

This place is so awesome. Terrific laid back ambience, super nice staff, very generous pours of 6 beer for $10 and a free glass that they charge $7 for. A handful of picnic tables and a nice short tour of the facility.
