About
We started a Brewery as a means to contribute to a truly artisan craft. We believe in friendship before finance and are happy to help others in this industry as we have been helped by those who came before us. We are bold believers in the fact that a well made beer can cool your spirit and warm your soul.

Our flagship Mason Ale Works production brewery opened in 2017 at our San Marcos Urge Common House Location. Here JJ “Sweet Meat” Jimenez, our Director of Brewing Operations, helms the wheel. All of our can releases like our popular Jambi West Coast IPA and Respeto Mexican Lager are brewed and canned in these four walls. We also crank out an extensive line-up of one-off releases out of here.

Pint can from Festival Appleton Darboy, 4/19/22. Hazy orange, large creamy white head, good retention. Aroma of floral hop, melon, mango. Taste is melon, grapefruit, passionfruit. Juicy, moderate bitterness. Lives up to the name.

Cash Stout from Mason Ale Works

7/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
Dark brown. Just a thin head. Aroma has both coffee and dark fruits on it. Lots of coffee on the palate, too. Medium body, just enough, some light dark sugar notes, bit of roast/toast from the malts. The fruitiness from the aroma doesn't really come through on the palate. Relatively simple coffee stout.

$4.70 pint can, WW. Murky pale gold with a soft white head. Nose is citrusy without being specific, lightly tropical. Flavor is green... orange peel, pineapple, unripe tropical fruit. Bitter, acidic, lots of green. Something to like here, but not mindblowing.

Down with the Thiqqness from Mason Ale Works

7.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
Poured from 473mL can. Dark brown with small beige head. Tons of marshmallow, vanilla, touch of graham cracker, light chocolate and coffee. Decent, though a bit too much marshmallow in my opinion. Would have preferred slightly more balanced flavours.

Jambi West Coast IPA from Mason Ale Works

6.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6
$3.85 pint can, WW. Wow, a clear IPA. Once all over, now so rare... Golden, white head. Black tea, citrus peel, caramel nose. Flavor is toast, citrus peel, stale hops, cardboard. Totally disappointing. Not bad, just really disappointing.

Tasting at Ryan's, can
Cloudy pale blond colour. Nice aroma of white grapes, tropical fruit. Soft mouthfeel, low carbonation, light malt base, no malt to speak about, but at least also no oats and chalk; a bit fruity, but lacking ooompf, low bitterness, some alcohol warmth but not boozy.

16oz @ Sales Force. Appearance: murky pale copper with peaches pulp flowing. Aroma: candied peaches with some lactose notes and a little sourness. Taste: along the same lines, very sweet, candy-like, with a little acidity. Overall: a liquid candy.

6.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Poured from 473mL can. Opaque dull dark orange with small white head. Sweet peach, vanilla, lactose, not all that well integrated, a bit messy. Have had much better smoothie sours.

Sweet Creams Are Made of These - Peach from Mason Ale Works

6.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Dark peach juice colour. No head. Lots of peach, and vanilla, lactose, so like a peach creamsicle sort of thing. It's okay, but so sweet and with just a limited tartness I am thinking that it's a bit unbalanced.
