From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jester King is a craft brewery in Austin, Texas that specializes in beer fermented with wild yeast. It is set on a 40 acre ranch about 18 miles west of Downtown Austin.
Jester King was founded in 2010 by Jeff Stuffings and Michael Steffing.[1] Joshua Cockrell was hired to create beer labels, which have won awards at the World Beer Championships packaging competition.[2]
In 2011 Jester King won a lawsuit against the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission, which had prohibited beverages with an alcohol content greater than 4% from being labeled as "beer".[3] In honor of their legal campaign against regulation, the Brewers Association in 2014 presented Jester King with their F.X. Matt Defense of the Small Brewing Industry Award.[1] In December 2011, Jester King recalled a batch of its Commercial Suicide beer due to excessive gushing caused by over carbonation.[4]
In January 2016, Jester King purchased 58 acres of land surrounding their facility. At the time, Stuffings said the company was planning to enlarge the brewery and add a winery, a distillery and a farm-to-table restaurant to the complex.[5]
In December 2019, Jester King was named the number 1 brewery in Texas in the inaugural Texas Craft Beer Report published by the analytics organization Hopalytics.[6]
