Cascade Hop, Craft Brewing and Oregon State University

The Cascade Hop has the flavor profile that sparked the entire craft brewing movement, and it was developed on the campus of Oregon State University. Learn how this special variety changed the way we think of beer, and also about the ongoing hop research happening on of the world's premiere brewing sciences programs.

Some of the brewpubs in Corvallis feature student beers on tap, many recipes that are developed in the pilot brewery. Block 15 features student brews. Two Towns Ciderhouse is run by a program grad and definitely worth a stop. And you'll find many OSU interns, staff and brewmasters at breweries around Oregon and the country.

As for an OSU-branded brew...? All we can stay is stay tuned, drink responsibly and thank a Beaver for the science behind the flavors of your next great beverage experience.

This should come full circle. I know liquor laws in Oregon are complicated and campus regulations don't really allow for the consumption of beer on campus, but why not have a tap on campus in a cafe or one of the restaurants so legal age drinkers can have a half-pint or a pint with their lunch? I'm sure Food Science must have some sort of excess production or could produce a small weekly batch for that.

Or have a OSU tap in the nearest off campus establishment. Huh, huh, huh!?

I don't think that would work in any other state than Oregon. Oregon, where bars can have video poker, Keno every 5 minutes, strippers (full nudity) and adult video arcades with locking doors, sofas or built in elevated area meant for more than one person and paper towel dispensers on the wall (they call them preview rooms). Gotta love it.
