Averie Swanson & Sean Spiller - Jester King Brewery
It's no secret that Jester King holds a special place in our hearts. Fantastic people making fantastic beers. Beers that scream Jester King - the place, the mixed culture of yeast and bacteria that lives in every bottle, and the finger print of the brewers who make them. Since we last spoke with the brewery on Craft Commander, they have purchased the land surrounding the brewery and are beginning to grow more of the ingredients that will influence their beers, they've worked hard to get the spontaneous fermentation project going, and they've continued to push the boundaries of what it is their beer can be.
Averie and Sean are two vital pieces of the puzzle at Jester King - brewing and caring for the beautiful beers that the brewery is known for and that craft beer lovers have come to expect. They possess an immense knowledge of brewing and fermentation science and use their endless creativity to craft, coax, and influence the ingredients and the living, breathing, and totally unique mixed culture that the brewery uses to give its beers that "thing". Go find a bottle, crack it open, take a whiff and then a taste, and you'll know exactly what we mean. Jester King and it's constant pursuit of quality and experimentation is what craft beer is all about. It's always a pleasure to get to hang with these guys, we hope you enjoy our chat!
Cheers,
Craft Commander
