Great beer, friendly goats, and delicious pizza. What more could you ask for? The friendly staff and the walking trails are a great added bonus. I've been to a lot of breweries, and I honestly think Jester King is one of the best in the country for both the beer and the setting. If you have time, it's worth booking a guided tour of the property or a goat walk. The goats are not only cute and friendly but they do so much for the brewery/brewing process. Carve out a good few hours to take in the experience. It's about a 30 minute drive outside the city of Austin and worth every minute. read more

Not as good as previous visits. A brewery that pushes beer in a can over draft beer is not my idea of a brewery. And judging by the lack of people there on a Friday night, others agree. Thanks for your reply but there was 4 draft beer options tonight. read more

Service good. Beer tasty. Food selection great. Atmosphere terrific. Live music (Noah Kurtis) AMAZING! read more

Pizza was great, and the beer never disappoints. I love their sours and tried the cocktails for the first time - also great!

This is our 3rd time here, it's always a great time. The beers are consistently great as is the pizza, + friendly staff and that hill country ambiance next time we'll get a 16oz and take a nice walk to visit Sasha and the goats! read more

Jester King Brewery - Sasha Hazy IPA - Breweries Near Me - Austin, Texas

This was my favorite part of my visit to Austin! I came for lunch and stayed for dinner thanks to the live entertainment and friendly staff. The music was great and food was even better. I especially enjoyed the wood-fired pizzas, although they were a bit small, so order a few. Not a pizza fan? Not a problem. They have plenty of options to choose from and a bar to go along with it in case you're not hungry. A playground and huge field are directly behind it, along with picnic tables and a tented area in case the weather is bad (it was perfect when I went). It's great spot for family dinner night or going out with friends, and is full of not only food and drinks, but memories and adventures that will last a lifetime. Some added bonuses are that it's pet friendly, kid friendly, and a great representation of Austin, Texas and its culture. The only negative was the long wait for food because of the popularity, but there were plenty of tables and it's a spacious property. read more

I was excited to finally come to Jester King since I was in the area. I waited an hour for my first beer. I wish I was exaggerating! I placed an online order thinking it may be faster than waiting in the line at the bar, but it literally took an hour to get one beer. Once I started ordering from the bar it was a lot quicker, just had to learn my lesson I guess. Overall, it's a cool spot. If I'm ever in the area again I'd like to give it another shot. At least the beer was good! read more

I always stop by here when I'm nearby for a pint...or more. I love the opportunity to try unique beers on draft you can't find anywhere else. It's my favorite brewery to visit. And don't sleep on the food, it's outstanding! read more

Such a cool brewery to visit! Just a quick drive outside of Austin. It's huge! Plenty of seating and space to eat, drink, hang out or check out the goats! We arrived a few minutes before it opened and the goats were out for their daily stroll- such a cool experience to hang out with over 60 goats. The selection and quality of beer was great and so was the service. We went on a very hot day, so we were thankful that there were fans with misters. Highly recommend! read more

Amazing space, great if you have kids. But the beer is mid, and the pizza is just generic.

Stopped by here in our way back from Hamilton Pool. There was quite a line when we got there to check in for some reason, which they said was to just ID you. However in the end you put your order online and get a text for pickup. The website claimed a 30 minute wait for pizza, but by the time we decided it was a little over an hour wait. Not ideal, and I feel like for pizza it should be pretty quick since they have the stone oven. That's the main reason I knocked a star off. The pizza itself was phenomenal. Knowing the wait we should have ordered 2 for 3 people. We got a side of olives that comes in a large container which we also enjoyed. The ambiance here was pretty chill. You get folks who are just super casual and then folks who look like they could be instagram influencers here. Witnessed a birthday group, a bachelorette party, a baby shower, and a pug meetup all together! There is also an area for goats if you wander far enough to check them out. There's also a nature trail which we didn't get to explore. Next to the stable was a private area where we also saw a wedding gathering. read more

Very nice and friendly!!! Great food and service. Would definitely come again and great scenery and people

We went there yesterday with a family of 10. Ambiance was cool. They really need to get their act together though when it comes to food. We had 6 kids with us. Food order wait was over two hours and still never got our food. Spoke to an assistant manager at the smash burger place and he took our name and number to make sure we weren't charged , but today i saw $122 charge for food we never received. I sent an email but have yet to hear back. I sure hope they get this removed. read more

Goats, beer, and pizza! What more could you want? Goats: We went on the goat tour and it was really hard to figure out where to go and how it was going to start. Thankfully, we were able to find the tour group and it was so fun to hang out with the goats in the goat pen. Plus, ticket proceeds go to hopefully raising a new goat barn. Beer: great! No complaints, would highly recommend. Pizza: honestly, probably some of the best pizza I've had full stop, and likely the best in Austin (yes...better than pinthouse), which is mostly why I gave this place 5 stars. We got the Gus pizza and the hot honey really sealed the deal. The only downside was that it took about 90 minutes to get it! To be fair, I should have guessed that this place might be packed on the weekends and done some research beforehand. Right now, everything is ordered online (avoid picking the curbside option if you're onsite!) so you can see how long the wait time is before you go and potentially order ahead so that it's ready by the time you get there (we went on a Sat night). Definitely recommend this as a unique Austin experience, especially if you're being friends or family from out of town. Even if you don't go on the goat tour, there is lots of space to roam around, people bring their kids and their dogs to just hangout. There's also live music some nights. I just didn't like how the tour was a little chaotic at the beginning and how the food took a little long to come out (maybe some signs and a megaphone would be helpful haha). read more

Everything about this place is amazing!! Great food great beer! So much family fun. Great food holidays and family events.

This oasis of a brewery, goat farm (doom metal goat yoga, anyone?), and nature reserve...is epic. Super solid beers (primarily known for sours/wild ales, but great IPAs and stouts to boot), wide open spaces with 2 bars (with differing taps), a goat farm for family fun, walking trails, and even scratch-made wood fired pizza! This time we got the Mason (red sauce, mushrooms, pepperoni, red onions, fresh Lioni mozzarella, pecorino Romano) and, even though I try to never ever have pizza while traveling (something we New Yorkers aren't exactly starved for, thankfully), this...was delicious. Could it have been the beer talking? Perhaps slightly...but this was admitted good pizza, and just what I needed. Had to try the blue corn muffin, as I do love me some corn muffin/bread - it was fine, but better to have more room for pizza or beer lol About a 30ish min uber/lyft ride from Austin, there's absolutely no excuse to not stop by and make one incredible day of things! I was back here in March 2020 and now having revisitedin March 2022 (F-you covid and messing up SXSW 2021...and so much more), this place is a must. And don't forget to say hi to Sasha, the Golden Retriever / goat herder! read more

It's a whole experience, more than just a brewery. The land provides space for beer hall, picnic tables, goat farm, and much more, something for everyone. It's definitely worth the drive from Austin. We came in the afternoon and saw the beautiful sunset. The beer was good and you can order pretty easily from multiple spots. You can spend hours chilling with friend here. read more

Ever hear of a place so much it makes you envious & you have it on your list of places to go whenever you get around to it? This is that place. Friends in the beer business highly recommend. This is THE coolest farmhouse brewery. From the beers, huge farm, trails, goats, rabbits, and chandelier swinging in the trees, Jester King has it all. Try the food, it's just as good as they have a real wood fired oven! Ambiance is 5/5- there are so many cool places to enjoy a cold brew- beer garden, under the outdoor tent, along the trails, the brew barn. Try the cider, it looks deceiving but it's VERY good! This is a must visit when in the Austin area. P.s.- The restrooms are in a converted airstream! read more

Visiting Austin for a few, hot (95º+) days, our host suggested a brewery tour for a party of six. Boy, was it haut! Menu ordering is by QR code or at bar. Quite a number of IPAs available. The tour was over an hour with a passionate (if not loquacious) guide. Sampled a number of products. A large pavilion sheltered the patrons from the heat, cooled by large ceiling-mounted misting fans. The wood-fired pizzas were good as was the crispy salad. A bluegrass quartet entertained the patrons and families along with canines. Large screen TVs entertained NFL fans. read more

Three stars for the beer, but 5 for the setting. Decently average beer, but with a huge property, live music, pizza, goats (???) and a playground, it's an incredibly cool spot to have a drink. We stopped here after a long morning of hiking, and were pleasantly surprised by this spot. Not the most incredible beer out there, but not awful, and worth the stop if you're in the area. read more

LOVE it here, because Jester King is more than just a brewery. They also serve fresh pizza, have lots of land, have a walking trail, and also GOATS!!! If you can, Jester King advises reservations to guarantee a spot. If not, they do accept walk-ins, but be warned it's based on availability. People spend more than the average time here to enjoy the amenities Jester King has to offer. How it currently works: Check-in at the Pole Barn, order food from your phone using the QR code, pick up your food & order drinks at the Pole Barn, and find a seat either in the Beer Garden, The Hopyard, The Canopy or the Grotto. The Hopyard is where we decided to settle just because it's away from the larger crowds at the Beer Garden, and you're next to the Goat Barn! I didn't find the smells of the goats too horrendous, but be warned on windy days, the dust kicks up heavily! Brews, Ciders, and Wine is what Jester King has to offer in terms of beverages. You can also take some home with you by stopping at their shop! Jester King is pretty niche when it comes to their brews, as not only do they have pure cultures, but mixed as well. Get crazy brew people! read more

Jester King Brewery - Marge enjoying the goats - Breweries Near Me - Austin, Texas

Really cool brewery out in the country away from the hustle of Austin. It was so nice to get out of the city for a while and enjoy some tasty food and farmhouse beers. We had a pepperoni pizza which was really good. Tasted like it was baked in a coal oven. I got a flight of beers which were all pretty solid. A lot of farmhouse style beers which tend to be warmer and drier. I liked them but not my favorite style. My daughter enjoyed walking out and seeing the goats by the barn. Prices were a bit steep but considering their good reputation it's probably priced pretty fairly. read more

Overall, jester king brewery was great. The grounds and location are beautiful. There were some hit or misses with each dish I had, and the beer didn't win me over. I think why this was 4 stars because everything was just good, but the grounds and location made that 2 star go to a 4 star. The tomatoe soup bisque was interesting. It was very watery. The flavor slowly grew on me. The grilled cheese was good, but small. I feel there needed to be another half or more bread for it. There was too much soup to grilled cheese ratio for dipping. The sage cookie truly grew on me. The flavor was intense and sweet. I took a bite and then needed a few mins to process this flavor. Eventually I'd eat the whole thing. The bread with dipping butter sucked. None of us liked this at all. I felt the bread was kinda hard, and I was expected warm bread but it was room temperate. Also, the butter it came with was super bland too. The 2 beers i had were okay, but i felt the flavor was pretty bland. I was here back in February so maybe the batches they were working on then were not my cup of tea. read more

We have recently discovered the wonderful Dripping Springs wineries / breweries. Jester King was a referral and is kid-friendly with a playground. There are working goats that graze the area. Dozens of crafted beers and really good, farm fresh dishes. We enjoyed this brewery in the late afternoon for an early dinner and wind down beer after hiking Hamilton Reserve. $10 per person to play with the goats read more

This place is very interesting! We stopped by on a whim coming home from a winery because I had heard positive reviews from friends. We arrived around 4:30 on a Sunday and didn't realize we needed reservations. They said they don't like to turn people away so they gave us wristbands and let us stay, which we appreciated! The bartender poured a heavy glass of wine and explained the kitchen closes daily from 4-5, which I appreciated they're looking out for their staff and giving them a break. While we waited for the kitchen to reopen, we visited the goat farm! The goats were sooooo cute. They have numerous seating areas and a ton of trails around the area. 5 o'clock rolled around and we ordered a classic pizza, which was basic cheese, basil, and sauce. The pizza was full of flavor! It really reminded me of the pizzas I ate in Naples. Would definitely recommend! Great place to visit with larger groups of people as well. read more

They offer a goat experience for $10/person and it was worth every penny. My sister and her boyfriend were visiting from LA and they both loved it. You got to be up-close to day-old goats. Holding a baby goat is something you didn't know you needed to do until you try it. Afterwards, we grabbed a table by the stage (yay live music) and got pizzas and pretzels to share. You can skip the pretzel. It was not good. The pizzas were great and it's a lovely experience to treat out-of-town guests to. It was a Thursday night. read more

Great Venue. Exclusively outdoor (some covered) seating on a goat ranch/brewery located in the beautiful Texas hill-country. The brewery specializes in farm house ales, all unique and very good, and has wine and ciders from other local businesses available. They also make some good pizzas and a variety of other eats. Most importantly, you can spin 2 **gyms** and a *pokéstop* all from the central seating area and there are 2 other pokéstops nearby, accessible by a short walk or when entering/exiting the parking area. Easy 5 stars. read more

Beautiful place. Love the environment. Nadia was very helpful and kind. The beer is really good as well

There are very few places where food, service and atmosphere, everything is 5stars and JKB is one among those. Post covid, we're rarely dining in but I was searching for a place which takes Covid precautions seriously and has good food, for my husbands birthday, and picked JKB, glad I did. Reservations can be done on there website, which is easy-peasy. You go check in, and choose the table, which are socially distanced, scan the code and order through your phone, once your order is ready, you get a message and you go n pick up. Pizza was delicious and made perfectly, my husband loved his beer, atmosphere was so pleasant, calm, kid friendly and socially distanced. Service is top notch, they really value and care there customers, if it's something wrong with your order, they are more than happy to make it for you again. You can definitely not go wrong withJKB, give it a try! read more

Their vegan pizza is FABULOUS. The pizza generally can feed at least two people, but I found myself hoping my husband didn't want his slices. Creamy cashew cheese, pesto, some cauliflower, and in the biggest surprise for me- pickled radishes, which I normally don't like, but this was great. Bonus: the crust is so dang good. I wish we had photos to share but it was gone in a flash. read more

Yet another spacious brewery, this one sprawled after several acres of Texas ranch. There's plenty of parking, and there's ample seating in a main hall as well as several picnic tables scattered throughout the hills. Enjoyed the outdoorsy setting, with trails for taking a short stroll after a drink or two. There's even a goat petting zoo and playgrounds for children. Wish we had a bit more time to explore the premises as well as try out the food trucks, but that'll have to wait until next time! read more

A crowd-pleaser for beer geeks, kids, and everyone in between. They always have a great variety of beer and hold a special place in the heart's of sour lovers. Beyond the beer, they have great food and sitting areas as well. Kids can play on the playground and check out the farm animals. It is very easy to pass a few hours here since there is so much land to explore and various bars across the property that serve different beer. read more

First time here the other day. Very spacious outdoor areas to eat and drink, and hang out with friends! Easy to order on your phone, keep a tab open, and track your orders. Good selection of drinks (beer, wine, etc), and at a reasonable price. As for food, i tried a pizza and the pretzel.. both were absolutely worth it! This was enough to share among two people, but i probably could've done with another snack item.. Overall great place to hang out! read more

Great brewery with a cute goat farm (with baby goats). The goats are easily observed behind the fence but if you want to get up close and personal it's a small fee.

We've been coming here for a long time, since it was Stanley's farmhouse pizza so it's been great to see the additions like the cute goats and large seating areas! Great to bring a large group of family or friends. The pizza is always good but make sure you order ahead because it can take almost an hour. The pizza crust is also more wheat and local grains which is cool and unique but I prefer a little less chewy texture personally. Tons of good drinks to choose from and you can definitely kill an evening here walking around the property and eating/drinking! read more

As many have noted, the setting is great, out in the country. And as others have noted, some days it's insanely crowded. One thing for me that is undisputed is the beer quality. I love saisons and farmhouse/Spon style ales, and this place is a sort of a Mecca for me. Can rarely get JK in NorCal, so I'll wait to drink one of these guys at the brewery. That's why I go to breweries, to drink the best beers as fresh as they can be. Everything else is secondary. read more
