“As a beer writer, I’m often asked to name my best and favorite beers and breweries. I find this tricky because I’m a great believer in diversity of style and the power of the moment — the magical beer-drinking experiences where all is exactly as it should be, the snapshots of perfection all beer lovers chase. Jester King is a place, and a brewery, that knows all about feeding those moments. My Sundays are often spent relaxing on their expansive farm in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, enjoying live country music and sipping happily on its latest creative endeavor whose quality never disappoints, while occasionally petting a baby goat or two. Heaven. But it was on a drizzly evening in southwest London that their ability to capture perfection really hit. Cracking open a 2017 Spon 1 Three Year Blend at our local bottle share and inhaling the vivid, specific aroma of Hill Country grasses and wildflowers and tasting our delicately flinty terroir mingling with Jester King’s signature funk immediately transported me home, cinching how Jester King has become a worldwide sensation.” — Ruvani de Silva, Michael Jackson Beer Writer of the Year 2024, Austin, Texas
