There is a light at the end of the tunnel folks. Here are a few highlights of what is happening in the Austin area beer scene.
Hemp Balm On Sale Now
Jester King Brewery became one of the first licensed hemp growers and just released their first product, a hemp balm. The hemp was planted last summer, and, when ready, processed into cannabidiol (CBD) oil with the help of a few of Jester King’s friends at Sweet Sensi in Austin. Spearheaded by the brewery’s farmer and goat caretaker, Farmer Peppy, the vision for Jester King’s first personal care product has come to life.
