In March 2010, The Daily Reveille reported that Louisiana State University Chancellor Michael Martin wanted to develop a microbrewery on campus. A little more than a year later, the university announced it would launch its very own branded beer, just in time for their fall football season.

According to Good Beer Fest, university officials hope the partnership will also benefit Tin Roof and the university–the deal should help expand the brewery’s business model and, at the same time, give royalty revenues to LSU.

The Orlando Sentinel reported that this is not the first time a college institution has produced its own beer. Cal, Oregon and Washington all have deals with local wineries or breweries and, according to Good Beer Fest, UC Davis offers a professional brewing program through its new $20 million winery, brewery and food-processing complex.
