NC State is offering an education in Beer Brewing and even has its own ‘Beer Lab’!

Yeah, this is a sports site, but it’s also an NC State site. Sports and beer have always gone together hand in hand, so hey, we think you’ll find this interesting.

NC State currently has their own beer, in partnership with New Belgium, called ‘Ole Tuffy’ which we’re sure you’ve seen at your local grocery store (if you live in North Carolina). However, they’re not stopping there.

This year, they’ve announced that they will start offering a minor in Beer Brewing.

As North Carolina continues to claim a top spot for beer brewing, @NCState is expanding its brewing education for students by offering a new Brewing Science and Technology minor through @fbnsncstate.

They even have their own beer lab where students will get to work hands-on in learning the ins and outs of the craft.

Interested? Here’s the deal…

Admission
Students may declare their desire to complete the Brewing Science and Technology minor by applying through CODA. Students will be assigned an advisor to help them in selecting coursework for the minor.

Certification
Dr. Sheppard will certify the minor prior to graduation. The minor must be completed no later than the semester in which the student expects to graduate from his or her degree program. Paperwork for certification should be completed no later than during the registration period for the student’s final semester at NC State.
