Land-grant University - Beers With The Brewers

It's an IPA double header! We welcome back LG classic Session IPA - Greenskeeper, just in time for hitting the links this spring, and introduce our latest release – Cool Cool Cool Cool, a "Cold IPA" that keeps things nice and chill. 

With today marking the start of March Madness + tomorrow being St. Patrick’s Day, we've got the ultimate lineup this week! Today's double-header episode features our new Going Dancing - American Pale Ale and the return of Make Mine Irish - Irish Coffee Stout, made with Stauf’s Coffee Roasters' Irish whiskey barrel aged coffee beans. 

Crew season is back and we're celebrating with the return of not one, but TWO of our black and gold-inspired brews: Massive Juicy Pale Ale and Glory Hoppy American Wheat Ale. We're a proud to be Official Partners of the Columbus Crew since 2015.  Be sure to grab a beer at the Land-Grant bar or from any vendor inside Lower.com Field at Crew matches, and make Land-Grant your go-to before or after any home match (a short walk or scooter ride) or away match to cheer on the Yellow Soccer Team!

This week, we're excited to welcome Samson Habte from Upper Cup Coffee Co. to chat through Buna IPA and all-things Upper Cup!

Fittingly, "buna" is the East African word for "coffee", and this delicious collaboration beer will be available exclusively on draft this month, while supply lasts.
