DuBrew's on us and the brewers who have generously donated their b**r. A gift to the Loras Fund is up to you! 🍺

Every year, as you enter DuBrew, we ask that you consider donating to the Loras Fund - even $1 counts! Our goal is the most Duhawks giving back, not the biggest check, and last year, we had 277 Duhawks donate.

Can you help us beat that on October 9th? Challenge accepted. 💪

Don't drink? There's something exciting for you at DuBrew, too!

Meet Pesche: a Des Moines–based beverage brand making non-alcoholic drinks worth getting excited about. Their functional mocktails are crafted with botanicals (plus adaptogens and nootropics, if you want the science-y version) for real flavor and a genuine feel-good moment.

Looking for focus, calm, or a good night's rest? There's a can made for the mood you're in.

So whether you're sipping a craft brew or keeping it alcohol-free, there's a full cup waiting at DuBrew. Everyone's welcome on the Parkway!

Pesche - thank you for making sure there's something for everyone. 💜💛 We'll see you all at DuBrew in just a few days!

Three friends, three Loras connections, and one very good origin story. "3 o.g." stands for 3 Old Guys (or, per the crew, maybe 3 Old Grandpas) — Bill Murphy ('76), Kevin Smith ('77), and John Sturtevant, who put in two years at Loras before finishing at NIU. They picked the name long before anyone told them "OG" meant something to the kids. In their words: "We are accidentally cool now." 😎

These homebrewers have poured at DuBrew since 2020, and they're back with three brews this year:

🍺 British Golden Ale: brewed in honor of Bill's 50th class reunion
🍺 Rohlman Hall Red: a DuBrew regular
🍺 Little Stinkers IPA: named after what may be the worst intramural basketball team in Duhawk history (sole career win: a forfeit). The b**r, we're told, is far better than the team.

3 o.g. - Thank you for pouring with us year after year. Cheers to 50 years, Bill. 💜💛 We'll see you on October 9th!
