Via a press release sent by Mr. Stuffing:

Jester King Craft Brewery in Austin has purchased a new 30 barrel brewhouse from Newland Systems, Inc. located outside of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. We chose Newland Systems because we were very impressed with their quality. They have a great reputation for crafting well-designed, durable brewhouses. Jester King’s brewhouse will be built in British Columbia over the next six to eight weeks then shipped to Austin…

Very nice. As we previously reported, the Jester King brothers have acquired land and a warehouse in southwest Austin near Driftwood.

Also from the press release:

Michael Steffing at Jester King has been working on the plans for outfitting the brewhouse once it arrives. Here are a few designs he created of the brewhouse with hot and cold liquor tanks, a grist case and brewhouse piping.

These look like screenshots from some awesome brewing video game. Maybe it’s on the Wii.

A little more from the press release:

Jester King purchased four 30 barrel conical fermenters from Pacific Brewery System Technologies to begin making craft beer. The concrete foundation for the warehouse will be poured later this month, and the warehouse is scheduled to be up by the end of March.

And one more picture. This is “a little more detail of our vision of the brewery setup out at the ranch…”

Alright! Cheers, guys. We look forward to drinking your beers soon.
