KENNESAW, Ga. — Jeff Chassner has a strict set of priorities. His wife, his children, and beer.
“Me and beer? I mean, I love fun!” Chassner told Channel 2 Action News.
It has been 20 years of fun. That is how long he has been in the beer business. He is the brains behind New Realm Brewing Company’s newest cold one.

“It’s a very light, golden lager,” Brewmaster Mitch Steele said.
Steele and Chassner took Channel 2 Action News on a tour of the brewery Tuesday in Northeast Atlanta.

The new beer is called Owl In. A little play on “all in,” and it is now the official draft beer of Kennesaw State University.
Channel 2′s Berndt Petersen asked Steele if he thought the new brew was better than Bud Light.
“I think so,” Steele said.
Owl In is the school’s first licensed beer.
The university is near and dear to Jeff, he’s a KSU graduate from the Class of 2000.
“I have a massive love for the university. That is where I met my wife on campus,” Chassner said. He was an athletic trainer then and funds an endowment now. “I live five minutes from the university. It is always great to go back and bring my wife and kids,” he added.
So far, they have brewed 200 barrels of the new beer. The Owl In brew is available in shops and restaurants around the university, and of course at Owls games.
In addition to being the official KSU draft beer, the university takes home part of the proceeds.
“We are looking for all of you bandwagon jumpers to get aboard with KSU! Enjoy our product responsibly and enjoy Owl In,” Chassner said.
