“First of all, this is owned by Jensen Ackles. That is all you need to know.”

Jensen’s wife Danneel, his brother-in-law Gino Graul, Danneel’s parents, and head brewer Nate Seal complete the family that owns and runs FBBC. FBBC is “a destination microbrewery and tasting room”. That means expansive grounds, outdoor shaded seating at The Oak Grove, a fenced-in playground for kids, live entertainment, and delicious Cajun food courtesy of their partner food truck (from Jep’s Southern Roots of “Duck Dynasty” fame). And, yes, the beers are the real stars, in case you’re wondering, including German-style pilsner Golden Age, a 2019 GABF silver medal winner.
