We will take a quite circuitous route from our starting point through Texas Hill Country to Stanley's Farmhouse Pizza, arriving at approximately 11:15 am.

| Located on the 180 treed acres of Ceres Park Ranch on the outskirts of Austin just off of Fitzhugh Rd (which members may recall from our Bluebonnet Drive route for the last few years), Stanley's Farmhouse Pizza makes handcrafted pizzas using three-day cold fermentation dough and fresh ingredients sourced from local farms and gardens. The property includes a 6000-sq ft pavilion with a stage, dance floor, and plenty of seating, offering a relaxing setting for enjoying delicious food among great company surrounded by beautiful scenery.

After lunch, we will walk just down the road to the neighboring Jester King Brewery for a 1:00 pm free tour followed by a tasting. Jester King is an authentic farmhouse brewery committed to making wild ales and spontaneously fermented beers that reflect the unique character of their location, using water from their own well, locally grown and malted grains, and native wild yeast. |
| Jester King is a relatively small brewery, producing less than 1500 barrels annually, so although their wares can occasionally be found at local retailers, restaurants, and bars, many of the 40 beers listed on their website are only available for sampling and purchase in their tasting room, so don't miss out! Children are allowed at Jester King so long as they are accompanied and supervised by an adult.

The cost of the event is whatever you spend on lunch at Stanley's and on beer at Jester King.
