Sebastian Wolfrum admiring a freshly brewed beer

Wolfpack Brewing Lab

Housed in Schaub Hall since 2006, the brewery operates as a research and teaching facility under Dr. John Sheppard. We aim to develop an educated workforce and advance the science of brewing in support of the local, state, and national brewing industries.

Brewing beer is an art and science, and we employ methods from chemistry, microbiology, engineering, and sensory analysis to produce high-quality products.
