LSU announced Wednesday they will brew and sell their own beer starting with this fall's football season.


A spokesman for the university, Ernie Ballard, says the logos and can designs are being finalized with an eye toward putting the beer on store shelves in September or October.
Ballard says local Baton Rouge-based Tin Roof Brewing Co. is partnering with LSU to produce the beer, which will be distributed by Mockler Beverage.


No word yet on a name for the beer -- or a list of the types of beers that will be offered. Ballard says the project was developed through LSU's food science department, with classes involved in creating the recipe.

Fantastic idea. Imagine how many schools could do this and make tons of money based on regional loyalty. I would be buying Aggie beer of course.

Especially if they have the students brew as part of a class, then all they have to do is pay for the equiptment and 1 professor to supervise, but the profits would be insane.

Which would taste like shit, akin to their performance in bowl games.

I think this is a great idea.

I wouldnt be surprised if more colleges did it if LSU shows a good profit.

I think that's the idea. I was in Miami for the Wine and Food Festival and there was a class from a local college that got college credits for brewing beer.
