LDBC Members,

Get ready for Release No. 31, releasing in August!* This is your official acceptance into Pint State University, where school spirit is high and every pour earns top marks. This release is a tribute to late-night study sessions, the thrill of picking your classes, finding your crew and tailgating before the big game. It’s all the moments that made campus days unforgettable — now reimagined in a lineup worthy of highest honors.

This term, we’ve invited four distinguished professors — masters of their craft — to lead the curriculum. Each brewery has developed an original beer inspired by a different corner of university life. From the classroom to the stadium, student organizations to time-honored traditions, expect bold brews and standout flavors. So grab your classmates, raise a glass and get ready for a semester you won’t forget.

Welcome to Release No. 31 // Pint State University!

Begin the term with Advanced Fermentation. This hefeweizen-style ale with raspberries from Narrow Gauge Brewing Co. [Florissant, MO] is the result of a perfect experiment — vibrant opaque red color, bright raspberry aroma, and hints of banana and clove. Pillowy and highly carbonated, this brew tastes like earning an A+ after an all-nighter.

Next up is Super Senior, an American IPA from Oskar Blues Brewery [Longmont, CO], inspired by Greek life at Pint State. It pours bright and clear with light orange tones and white foam. Grapefruit, pineapple, lemongrass and pine meet honey-bread malt for a balanced, easygoing IPA that channels house traditions, themed parties and the kind of bonds that last long after graduation.

Head to the stadium for Pregame Warmup from Offshoot Beer Co. [Placentia, CA], a session hazy IPA built for tailgates and campus game days. Pale gold with creamy white foam, it’s packed with tropical citrus, mango and stone fruit. Soft, light and easy to crush, it’s that parking lot energy right before kickoff when the whole campus comes alive.

Close out the semester with Twisted Society, a brown ale from New Glory Craft Brewery [Sacramento, CA]. Inspired by campus clubs, it pours crystal-clear deep garnet with a light khaki foam. Notes of toasted pumpernickel, toffee sweetness and soft pretzel crust lead to a nutty, biscuity finish — like your favorite campus group, where every meeting becomes a tradition with a beer in hand.

Thanks for enrolling in Pint State University — we can’t wait for you to get your hands on these kits. Stay tuned for more info on the exact release date in August!

See you on campus,
Team LDBC
