As an alumnus of UNC, Jeff believes strongly in giving back to the university by providing internship and field experience opportunities, sponsoring UNC Athletics and the UNC Alumni Relations tailgates, and by getting creative. That desire to be creative has brought the Klawz Kollab to life. In the spring of 2018 Jeff connected with the faculty of UNC's Brewing Laboratory Science program and designed the Top Hop program.
Each semester the faculty identify the Top Hops; four students who are excelling in the class. The students then meet with Jeff and develop a beer from concept to market. While Jeff provides guidance along the way, the students are responsible for developing the concept for the beer, creating the recipe, sourcing necessary ingredients, brewing, filtering, transferring and packaging the beer, designing the label concept, creating the release event, and more. This one of a kind program puts the keys to the brewhouse in the hands of aspiring brewery industry professional.
As an added bonus, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the the Kollab goes to support a scholarship for future brewing science students. You can find the different Kollab's in liquor stores and restaurants across Colorado, at all home UNC football games in the Alumni Association tailgate, and at occasional events including the Great American Beer Festival.
