THE RECIPES | Faculty Brewing Co.

THE BEER.

Our beers are numbered using a system based on the way in which universities and colleges number courses by their degree of complexity and expertise. Each beer's corresponding number reflects the sophistication of its flavour profile. Lower numbers indicate a more entry-level beer, while higher numbers are reserved for more experimental and bold-flavoured beers.

We're always experimenting and adding new recipes. Check Today's Taps to find out what we're pouring this week. Click on the beer for its full recipe.
