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.

Andrew's Forest IPA from Mason Ale Works

7.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
Pale golden with a white head - Nice hop aroma with citrus and herbs - Good malt body to support a hop profile that gives citrus and herbal flavours with bitterness - The hops goes into the finish with herbal dry bitterness - This was good

I bought 10 bombers at Gerrard’s in Redlands visiting friends and did a tasting. This scored near the top. Hazy gold with overt citrus flavor and aroma.
