Innovation on tap: Students create new IPA for Backpocket Brewing
The scent of malted grains, hops and yeast fills the air inside the Iowa State University brewing science laboratory – along with a hint of friendly competition.
Students enrolled in “The Science and Practice of Brewing,” a three-credit course offered by the ISU brewing science program, are learning the foundational elements of brewing science and technology this semester while also working to develop an India pale ale (IPA) for commercial production, thanks to a new collaboration with Backpocket Brewing.
