Representing Ohio State Buckeyes

Truth IPA

7.2% ABV

Representing University of Oregon Ducks

Fresh Squeezed IPA

6.4% ABV
_Deschutes Brewery_ Bend, Oregon

Representing University of Georgia Bulldogs

Tropicália IPA

6.6% ABV
_Creature Comforts Brewing Co._ Athens, Georgia

Representing Notre Dame Fighting Irish

Zombie Dust Undead Pale Ale

6.5% ABV
_3 Floyds Brewing_ Munster, Indiana
