We're very excited to announce that Jester King has purchased the remainder of Ceres Park Ranch, which is the place it has called home since 2010! The purchase includes 107 acres of land, the Ceres Park Ranch Event Center, and Stanley's Farmhouse Pizza.

The land purchase brings the total acreage owned by Jester King up to 165. We had previously purchased 58 acres in 2015. We're very happy that this land will not fall prey to encroaching residential development. Green space is becoming increasingly fleeting on the outskirts of Austin, and aside from agriculture, our land will not be developed. It will remain a beautiful place for people to enjoy long into the future.

That's good I guess. I hope they don't screw up Stanley's though.

they will eventually change it, who knows how it will work out

Very little will change at Stanley's at the outset. We respect their people, business, community they've created, and their guests / followers. Like us, they pride themselves on being a family-friendly place for people to relax and enjoy time with friends and family in a serene setting. Over time, it will be natural for Stanley's to slowly evolve to better fit our philosophy and approach. We're excited about making the kitchen an extension of our land and farm, and achieving greater symmetry between their food and our beer. The only tangible change at the outset will be that our beer will now be available at Stanley's. Otherwise, everything else will be the same including the open hours.


and like everything else JK, the price will probably go up

All I remember from the time I visited JK was the body odor emanating from the bartender who served me my first beer. Everything after that tasted like armpit.

Most of their stuff tastes like armpit, so it's not just you.

csb: went to JK after a day on the river with a few friends/acquaintances. one of the women cut her leg on a broken glass bottle in the river the employees at JK took her to office and cleaned her up with first aid kit including soaps and bandages.

I read about this earlier. I need to make a trip out there. I've been enjoying the stuff that's over at Calandro's. Saison Americain is fantastic. I've got a couple spons in the wine fridge. I may break one out this weekend.

What of their's don't you like? Granted i've had some i didn't care for, but most of my experiences with their beer has been positive. I find their beers aren't quite as sour or funky as they used to be, and i attribute that to being 100% spontaneous ferm beers. As opposed to their early works where they were inocculating.

But i enjoy most of what i've had. Saison Americaine, Noble King, Black Metal, Grim Harvest, Vague Recollection batch 2, Funk Metal, Boxer's Revenge, Wytchmaker. And have 4 or 5 in my cabinet i've yet to try.

Maybe if they hopped on the haze bandwagon you would rediscover your lost feelings.

I actually find hazy ipas to be repulsive. Fanboys lining up around the block for a lazy style of beer disgusts me. What happened to taking pride in making a clear IPA? I wish they'd go the way of the dinosaurs.

Lot of bait being thrown in this thread, so not sure if serious.

But if serious then dumb.

I like them if they are done well. I find with every brewery brewing them now, it’s easier to pick out the duds. I love a good west coast as well.
