takes great pride in their craft beers
because they're all cultivated locally.
All of the beers we make contain Cal Poly
Pomona-grown barley,
which is harvested right here at Spadra Ranch. Even the oranges used for our beers
are grown
right here on a university campus. In
addition all the spent grain from the
brewing process
is picked up by the College of
Agriculture and fed to the cows
right here on campus. The names are the
beers also pay tribute to the spirit of
Cal Poly Pomona.=
and Pomona Valley history. Guest
favorites such as "Green & Gold,"
"Bronco Brown," and "Dr. Ortiz Orange Witbier"
are all named in honor of the campus and
its prominent figures.
What makes this establishment truly
innovative is a Cal Poly Pomona's the
first university to have a genuine
educational brewery/restaurant right on
campus.
