Congratulations to Brewer Marc Nelipovich for 10 years at Jester King!
Marc in addition to being a wonderful, joyful human being is one of the great creative forces behind our beer. Whether it's grilled peaches, coffee ground roasted beets, or lion's mane mushrooms, Marc is responsible for a significant part of the uniqueness that makes our beer a product of a time, place, and people.
A native of Minnesota and a professional musician, Marc is a big fan of Prince! His band The Moving Blues frequently play Jester King. Congratulations again to Marc for being an awesome brewer and an even better human being!

We're happy to announce that QR code ordering is back at Jester King. Starting this Friday, our guests can order food and drink at any bar or QR code. It's that simple. Order whatever you'd like in person or from any QR code on our ranch.
We started QR code ordering back in 2020, which helped shorten lines. People seemed to like them. We understand that people come out to Jester King to enjoy great pizza and beer in a beautiful place while getting to spend disconnected, quality time with friends and family. We care deeply about our food and beer, but we see helping create enjoyable, disconnected time with friends and family as our core purpose for existing. Waiting in line too much obviously defeats all that. With QR codes, even if we're very busy on a beautiful Saturday afternoon and pizza times are long, at least folks can get a quick beer and enjoy the company of their friends from their table instead of waiting in line to order.
Why did we move away from QR codes earlier this year? We don't love the impersonal nature of them and having to interface with a device. Service and hospitality are important to us, and a lot of love goes into our food and beer, so we felt the Jester King experience was suffering due to the lack of personal connection. But like most things, one extreme or the other isn't great, and we're back with a hybrid — order at any bar in person or by QR code.
We're hopeful and confident this will be right, and we try to be open and communicative about when we didn't get it right. Serving food and drink on a multi-acre, quasi-public / private, outdoor ranch can be tricky, but again, we feel we got it right. We hope you will agree and that we'll see you soon at Jester King for some pizza, beer, goats, and great times with family and friends!

It still kind of freaks us out to see us listed above Brasserie Cantillon, Russian River Brewing Company, Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales, and Allagash Brewing Company, who inspired us to make these styles of beers in the first place. We're super grateful and appreciative of this honor, and we’re proud to help carry on this tradition.
New pizzas and cocktails are on our menu this week! Come out and see us on the ranch Friday 2-9, Saturday 11-9, and Sunday 11-8.

We're very excited to release a new lager beer that's truly Texan in origin. It's called Staked Plains Pilsner, and it's brewed with 100% Texas-grown Llano Pilsner Malt from TexMalt.
The Llano Pilsner malt was grown in the Llano Estacado (the "Staked Plains") in the Texas panhandle. According to TexMalt, "Our Llano Pilsner malt is carefully modified at cool temperatures for an extended period of time and then kilned low to maintain the delicate Terroir associated with it’s origin, The Llano Estacado. Slightly sweet, with subtle notes of straw, honeysuckle and earthiness."
Staked Plains Pilsner was brewed with Hill Country well water, 100% Llano Pilsner, and Saaz hops. After primary fermentation, we lagered it for eight weeks until it was soft, smooth, drinkable, and allowing the Llano Pilsner malt and delicate yeast character shine.
We're excited for you to pick this one up! Available at Jester King and look for it at bars and stores around Austin. We're self-distributing now, so if you'd like to carry Staked Plains Pilsner, e-mail us at [email protected]
The artwork for Staked Plains Pilsner, depicting the Llano Estacado landscape, is by Katie Ross.
