CSU anniversary brew to debut Thursday

FORT COLLINS — Colorado State University students and the brewers at C.B. & Potts Brewery have formulated a new India Pale Ale to celebrate the university’s 150th anniversary.

Great Wet IPA 6.2 percent was created in collaboration with seniors in CSU’s fermentation science and technology program. Celastrina LLC, a Fort Collins-based hop producer, was also involved.

Great Wet IPA will be released Thursday at a tapping party from 5 to 8 p.m. at the C.B. & Potts Brewery and Taproom at 1831 E. Mulberry St.

The tapping party kicks off a fundraising initiative for the brewing program with $1 from every pint sold to be donated back to the CSU program. The new IPA will also be on tap for a limited time at C.B. & Potts Foothills Mall and at Collindale Golf Course locations.

Great Wet IPA is a pineapple mango Wet Hop Milkshake IPA, brewed with locally sourced hops from Celastrina, malt from Root Shoot Malting in Loveland, and fresh purees from Source of Nature in Wellington.
