We were pleased to tell him that the brewery is still going strong. We were doubly delighted to show him how the new 1.5 barrel brewery project was progressing. In 2005/06, the Pilot Brewery underwent a major overhaul with much of the thanks going to our friends from Anheuser-Busch. On April 7, 2006, employees from Anheuser-Busch and faculty, staff and students from UC Davis celebrated the re-pening of the Pilot Brewery in Cruess Hall. Charlie Bamforth and Doug Muhleman, Vice President of Brewing from Anheuser-Busch christened the new brewery with a ceremonial mash.

And before the end of 2010 we hope to have moved the brewery into the beautiful new August A Busch III Brewing and Food Science Laboratory within the RMI complex that we moved to in 2008– go to http://robertmondaviinstitute.ucdavis.edu/ Food Science and Technology Department
