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.

Dark brown. Thin head. Rich chocolate aroma. On the palate, definitely lots of chocolate, but it comes across lighter than I was expecting. Some vanilla and lactose to add richness, and a touch of roast and bitterness in the finish to cut the sweetness a touch.

7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Dark brown. Medium head. The hazelnut jumps out of the glass, with some vanilla. Coffee is fairly restrained on the nose. On the palate, lots of vanilla, hazelnuts and more. The body isn't all that big for a beer this size, but it's enough, at least in terms of sugars. The toasty nut accent is a strength, and complements the base beer fairly well.

6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
16 oz. can, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of orange rinds, citrus hops, and some bready malt. Flavour has some washed out hops, with orange rinds, citrus hops, and bready malt. This seems rather old; the hops have died and the freshness is just not there. Disappointing.

16 oz. can, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is very sweet, with loads of marshmallow, graham cracker, vanilla and sweet cocoa. Flavour is cloyingly sweet, with loads of marshmallow, vanilla, and sweet cocoa. Very sweet, finishing with molasses, marshmallow and high residual sweetness. Too sweet for me, but it is tasty.

7.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
16 oz. can, pours an opaque milky yellow with a small white head. Aroma is very juicy, with lots of pithy tropical fruits, citrusy hops, and light alcohol. Flavour is very juicy, with lots of tropical fruits, citrusy notes, lots of pith, gentle dank hops, and light chalk. Pretty good clarity for a hazy, and with good balance; the hops have held up pretty well. Good stuff.

7.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 10 Overall 8
Can, shared most generously with pictoman. Muuurky pale yellow body with a lasting, big off-white head. Huge oats in the aroma, this is clearly gone, sweet, vanilla, light stale fruity notes, stone fruit and light tropical notes. Soft, silky, smooth body, fantastic for a beer this size, perfect apart from some hop bite. Light stone fruit, light berry notes, very well hidden alcohol. Clearly mostly gone, but shows how impressive it was once. Raising te overall score somewhat to balance things out.

1 pint can. Pours a dull hazy amber with moderate head. Aromas of tangerine, lupulin powder, melon, and bready malts. Flavours of cantaloupe, dry stoned fruit, fruit cocktail grapes (mushy and not tart) plus more bready malts. Hazy mouthfeel though more interesting.

7.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
Poured from 473mL can (shared with Marko - no date stamp, approximating this as 3 months old). Cloudy yellow with small white head. Aroma doesn't hold up, but the taste is still mostly there. Tropical hops, juicy, touch of hop burn, alcohol is mostly hidden. Very nice, despite its age.
