At Canadian university, a student-owned microbrewery

The University of British Columbia in Canada is in the process of creating what it says is the world’s first student-owned campus microbrewery.

 The University of British Columbia’s alma mater society is in the process of creating what it says is the world’s first student-owned campus microbrewery.
The UBC Alma Mater Society (AMS) already sells about CAD 1 million a year in alcohol and food at two Vancouver campus outlets, and now there are plans for a student-owned brewery to be built in a new student union building set to be finished in 2014, according to a report in The Province. Plans call for the new microbrewery to occupy the 1,000-square-foot basement of the new building, groundbreaking for which will take place at the end of February. The brewery is reportedly expected to add between CAD 500,000 and CAD 1 million to the new building’s CAD 103 million building budget.
Is there any match more natural than college students and a microbrewery? Campuses and student organizations around the globe, there’s plenty for inspiration here.
