New Belgium will host a launch party at 2 p.m. Saturday for their new CSU-inspired beer, Old Aggie.
New Belgium has crafted a new beer that is celebratory to the years of partnership between the brewery and CSU and the new stadium.
From 2 p.m. until 6 p.m. at New Belgium Brewery, located at 500 Linden St., the Colorado-based brewery will host a kick off party for their new lager.

The beer was a collaboration with Colorado State University to commemorate their partnership over the years. In 2015, New Belgium Brewing co-founder Kim Jordan gave a $1 million grant to CSU’s newly established fermentation science and technology program. Then, in 2016, the company donated more than $4 million to the construction of the on-campus stadium.
More than 100 CSU alumni work at the local craft brewer, according to the New Belgium website.
A portion of Old Aggie sales will go towards CSU athletics, the CSU fermentation sciences program and responsible drinking at the University.
