Trilogy 3 Brewers’ Class earns international recognition for beer created in collaboration with students from Oregon
State University
Press Release:
PORTLAND, Ore.—
BridgePort Brewing Company,
Oregon’s oldest craft brewery, announced today that Trilogy 3 Brewers’
Class, the final beer in Bridgeport’s 30 year anniversary series, won
Gold at
The European Beer Star award. Conceived as a sessionable brown ale, Trilogy 3 Brewers’ Class was jointly designed by students enrolled in the
Fermentation Science Program at Oregon State University, program director Dr. Thomas Shellhammer, and BridgePort brewmaster Jeff Edgerton.
“As
an Oregon State alum, I jumped at the opportunity to partner with these
students
to create Trilogy 3 Brewers’ Class,” comments BridgePort Brewmaster,
Jeff Edgerton. “When we were coming up with ideas for the beer, I
couldn’t help but think about how the future of brewing in Oregon, and
in the United States, was likely in that room. We’ve
known it was a world-class beer all along the way, but it’s great to be
validated by a committee of international experts.”
