State of Wisconsin is also well known for having the biggest alcohol drinking rate in the whole country, which is intresting.
The actual course being offered at the campus will try to teach students and other people about fermentation and how to brew beer. Some beer companies have already donated their own equipment to help the class with the whole process, this will allow them to easily make 10 gallons of quality beer by using the given process. By the time the term ends the hope is that the students will be able to criticize a sample, and the actual rest of the beer that was produced will be discarded or destroyed.
