Botanicals 🤝 beer

Look for this can if you want to get your hands on the Biome ale. | Beer can art by Will Fugman
The beer was created from yeast of a dragon fruit at the Conservatory, which was collected by Seventh Son’s quality control technician. With the help of an OSU laboratory, the yeast was fermented to beer.
🍺 Where can I get some?
The beer will be on draft and in six packs with cans designed by local artist Will Fugman. The official release date is Thursday, March 2, and the beer will remain available for three months only at Seventh Son.
🍸 Conservatory-themed cocktails
Cocktails inspired by botanicals at the Conservatory will also be available for three months at Seventh Son, Getaway Brewing, and Antiques on High. Stop at all three locations to receive free admission to the Conservatory.
THE WRAP
Today’s issue was written by Hanna.
Editor’s pick: There’s no question that the OSU men’s basketball team has had a rough go around this season, but if you want to catch a home game, there are only three left. Even if you’ve lost faith in the team, there are some pretty fun in-game promotions — including Chick-fil-A meals that drops from the sky in parachutes.
