LSU to Brew and Sell Its Own Beer, Leaving UT to Wonder Why They Didn't Think of That

Some would say that's because people are guzzling bourbon and scotch instead of brews, but the keen minds in the LSU administration know better.

The school will place itself on the cutting edge of academia by brewing and selling its own special brand of beer, the Associated Press reports.

The beer's release is "planned during the fall football season," the AP says.

Can Rice be far behind?

"The project was developed through LSU's food science department, with classes involved in creating the recipe," the AP says.

Austin, it's your move. Longhorn Jaegermeister, here we come!
