FORT COLLINS — Colorado State University students enrolled in classes in the school’s Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition will put their beer-making skills to the test Thursday evening in the Iron Brew Challenge.
The event, held from 4 to 7 p.m. Thursday between the Gifford Building and the Nancy Richardson Design Center on the CSU campus in Fort Collins, pairs students with alumni brewers to develop new beers using a secret ingredient. Spruce tips were the secret ingredient in the 2023 Iron Brew Challenge.
The three participating teams of CSU students crafted their entries at a trio of Fort Collins breweries: New Belgium Brewing Co., Odell Brewing and Sweetwater Brewing.
