Land-Grant University - Beers with the Brewers

Goon - Pale Ale

Hockey season is firing up - "Getcha Gooner" this week with Chris, Walt and Mark. Goon is an assertive American Pale Ale that scoffs at fruity hop trends and brings a citrus and piney aggression to the ice. Drop your gloves and take a swig. Goon Pale Ale has taken the ice... available now!

Land-Grant History 101

In honor of our 4th Anniversary (and party on September 29), this week join Adam, Walt, Mark, Quintin, and Joe as we talk about Land-Grant from the early days to today. It is a long listen, but we have done a lot in 4 years! 

Concentrate - IPA

Join Dan, Mark, Adam and Walt and they take a taste of this orange juice forward IPA brewed with three different varieties -and two styles- of hops. Traditionally harvested Mosaic, Cryo-Amarillo, and Cryo-Centennial Hops (Cryo hops are concentrated lupulin from whole-leaf hops containing resins and aromatic oil) deliver massive amounts of juicy, hoppy aromas and hop flavor. Best enjoyed fresh and straight from the can.

Beers with the Bartenders

No new beers this week, so we decided to grab a few folks from behind the bar to join us to talk about life as a bartender at Land-Grant. Adam and Walt are joined by Amber, Justin, and Jordan and talk about favorite beers, mispronunciations and other random things.

KIN - Nik's Beer

This is Nik’s beer—a Kölsch-style Golden Ale, brewed with Agave Nectar, Tropical Hops and Nik in mind. Beer builds community, and we were honored to have Nik at the center of ours. He was a soft-spoken soul who could summon a roar, a roots rock king with tropical panache, and a man who taught us all how lucky we are to have one another. Proceeds from this beer benefit the Dick & Jane Project.
