“Cal Poly graduates have always played a vital role in the ranks of our brewing team and elsewhere in our brewery,” said David Walker. “Like us, Cal Poly is passionate about the brewing sciences and craft culture, and this collaboration is the latest example of how we support each other.”

Cal Poly Gold is an all-malt lager brewed with noble hops. According to Brewmaster Matt Brynildson, it was a collaboration every step of the way, from shepherding the idea with the university to reaching a consensus among the brewing team. “We collectively decided that this should be a light, sessionable beer,” he said, “So we created Cal Poly Gold as a crisp, refreshing, easy-drinking lager that’s perfect for enjoying the SLO life.”
