We are excited to announce that the Campus Kitchen at Augsburg College and Augsburg’s course, “The Science of Food and Cooking,” are partnering to offer “Beer and Entrepreneurship,” an evening panel featuring leaders in the Twin Cities brewing community. The panel will feature Jacquie Berglund ’87 of FINNEGANS, Ben Boo of Mighty Axe Hops Hub (a business co-founded by Augsburg alumnus Brian Krohn ’08), and Jason Sowards of Harriet Brewing. These leaders will share their experiences in science, business, food justice, and brewing.

“Beer and Entrepreneurship” will take place on February 6th from 7 to 8pm in the Marshall Room at Augsburg College. Samples will be available to guests ages 21+.

This event aims to bring together the Augsburg community around food, and in particular, beverage. It is a chance to tap into one of the unique features of Minneapolis–an established food culture–and to play off of Augsburg’s special location in the middle of this city, as well as its emphasis on connecting seemingly disparate domains, such as science, social justice, and business.

If you need a parking pass for this event, please contact Brittany Kimball at [email kimball@augsburg.edu].

We hope that you’ll join us for this special event!
