Nestled near Austin, Jester King Brewery invites you to sip on farmhouse ales, enjoy wood-fired pizza, and stroll through unique goat walks in a chill, outdoor setting.
"Close to Dripping Springs, on a massive plot of land, Jester King has made a name for itself by brewing spontaneously fermented beers with wild yeast. So it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that the pizza program here follows the same philosophy. Most of the ingredients are locally foraged or farmed—expect to find lots of seasonal, regional vegetables and herbs—and the dough is fermented with yeast from the surrounding area. As for the pizza itself, expect a soft, floppy center and a chewy, blistered crust that could hold its own against the best Neapolitan joints in town. It’s worth making the drive for the beers and the scenery alone, but the pizzas just sweeten the deal. " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
"This Dripping Springs brewery can host events in its main event hall, alongside as well as its on-site restaurant, which means rustic weddings and receptions." - Darcie Duttweiler
"If you’re a beer nerd, you already know about Jester King. And if you’re not, we’ll give a little background—Jester King brews most of its beers with wild yeast from the 165-acre farm out in the Hill Country that it’s set on. As a result, no two batches are ever the same, and many of them are about as tart as a pack of Sour Patch Kids. Beyond the beer, it’s worth a visit for the patio, the walking trails around the farm, and the free-roaming goats that maintain the grass in a much cuter way than lawnmowers ever could. There’s also an on-site kitchen with great pizza. " - nicolai mccrary
"Jester King Brewery is known for its uniquely fermented beers, which are great. And the on-site restaurant also has great wood-fired pizzas — that come with beer pairing suggestions, of course, along with burgers. Keep an eye out for the roaming cats and say hello to the goats and the bunny. Takeout orders can be placed online or in person; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Erin Russell, Nadia Chaudhury
"Located on the grounds of a giant farmhouse, Jester King has more than 60 draft options, and pretty much all of them are great for sipping while you watch your corgi run wild on the grass. The spritzy sours they specialize in are perfect for a hot day, while the dark ales get the job done when it (finally) cools down. Definitely get one of their pizzas before hunger strikes, because orders quickly pile up on busy weekend afternoons. You’ll also want to buy a ticket to tour their goat pen to say hello to their adorable bleating friends. " - nicolai mccrary, anne cruz
