    UC Davis is toasting Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. founder Ken Grossman after he and his wife, Katie Gonser, presented the university with $2 million for the campus’ brewing science program.

    The gift announced Thursday will establish an endowment for a full-time brewing position at UC Davis. The first Sierra Nevada endowed brewer is Joseph Williams, a staff researcher with the UC Davis brewing program.

    We are lucky, but honestly this doesn't surprise me. It's a nice piece to an already stellar legacy.

    between this and all the money the Mondavis have given UCDavis for the beer and wine programs I wish I graduated in Fermentation Science a lot later than I did (which was 1996).
