Description
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.

Hazy light tan, with not much head. The nose is full of brett and barrel, and on the palate is really has a nice fruity brett C character. Nice balance.

Pour is a slightly hazy golden with a large white head. Aroma is a decent wet doughy malt with some bittering hops. Flavor is a nice mellow cracker and dry malt. I also get a nice herbal Euro hop. Pretty clean and refreshing hopped up pilsner.

12oz can via trade, thanks Arturo ... @ Sebletitje pre-Bxl Beerfest evening. No BB. Dorée sur l'orange, col fin blanc-cassé. Arôme est léger finement malté dans l'approche, grains sur petit effet bubble gum et finement tropical, retrouve un rétro-nasal plus dans une approche de grains concassés. Palais reste axé sur la malté, cependant, même en dry hopping on peu noter une petite touche d'amertume surtout sur le côté purée de fruits qui arrive sur la fin - touche verte un peu tropicale et abricot qui donne une amertume de fin de bouche sur une base plus conséquente du malt.

12oz can pours with a pours with a slightly hazy copper body that supports a thin off white head of foam. The aroma offers up boozy citrus, faint bread and little else. The hops are citrus in nature. The taste delivers tangelo, cantaloupe and booze. It's pretty smooth with a blend of thin bitter citrus hops, sweet citrus candy and then thin soft booze soaked tropical fruitiness. Nice sipper.
