Barley. Hops. Yeast. Water. To Cody Reif (’02), beer is C2H5OH, but it’s also an art.

While enrolled as a Colorado State microbiology major, Cody discovered his true love, brewing. CSU’s curriculum allowed him to land an internship at New Belgium Brewing Co. He’s still there today, rolling out new beer varieties as a research and development brewer. He’s proud to be a CSU Ram.
