Click on headline for complete story News from Western Kentucky University BOWLING GREEN, KY - The largest brewing system to be located at a university, and the first in Kentucky, has been delivered to the Center for Research and Development at Western Kentucky University. Alltech Inc. of Lexington is leasing space in the Center to start a craft beer brewing operation using the seven-barrel micro brewing production system and will pay the renovation and installation costs.

"Our program is being designed to prepare students to work at any level in the growing brewing and distilling industry." While the Alltech brewery operation and the curriculum are independent, they will work together to make the program better and unique, Dr. Webb said.
