When craft fiends want to know which brews shine with the brightest flavor, they check the blind taste tests in Paste Mag. So when the adored magazine released their list of the Top 10 Breweries in the Country, beer geeks were quick to scope out the winners.

Athens, Ohio’s Jackie O’s is the most under-the-radar brewery on this prestigious list. Paste says: “They make beer so incredible that if it were repackaged in discarded bottles from the likes of Hill Farmstead, Side Project or Jester King, nobody would think twice.”

Those that know their Saisons and Wild Ales understand what an honor it is for a brewery to be compared to these masters of the style.

There’s a cult following of in-the-know fans who relentlessly requested we bring on Jackie O’s brews for years. And once we finally made it happen, they continue to flood our inbox asking when we’ll get the brewery’s next release.

So here’s a heads up so you can snag yourself a taste before those Jackie O’s Hoarders fill their cellars with today’s Pockets of Sunlight.

It’s a prime example of the brewery’s complex Saison expertise. They add wildflower honey, zesty lemon verbena, and coriander spice to entertain the palate with a farmer’s market full of fresh, rustic flavors.

And it comes with massive praise from Paste — and a story to tell your friends about this tiny Midwest brewery that’s worked their way into the upper echelon of craft.
