*upfront disclosure - I am employed with TAPS Media (parent company of TAPS The Beer Magazine and the Canadian Brewing Awards)*

The following is a press release from TAPS Media, Niagara College Teaching Brewery and the Sawdust City Brewing Co.

August 15, 2012 – Toronto, ON: TAPS Media, parent company of TAPS The Beer Magazine is pleased to announce the release of the first collaboration brew between the Niagara College Teaching Brewery and Sawdust City Brewing Co - Great Weiss North

Brewed on July 27th, Great Weiss North is an All-Canadian brew in every sense of the word. Made with an ingredient from every province and territory in the country, it is a unique beer that was designed to showcase all that Canada has to offer. The idea was the brainchild of Sawdust City Brewing Co., Brew Master Sam Corbeil, the beer itself was designed and made by Jon Downing Brew Master and professor at the Niagara College and a team of his first year students from the College’s Brew Master and Brewery Operations Management course.

Along with an array of malts, supplied by Canada Malting, and home grown organic Ontario hops, the beer also features a variety of interesting ingredients such as Birch Syrup from the Yukon and teas from the North West Territories and Nunavut.

The beer will be released Friday, August 19th at this year’s Canadian National Exhibition and will only be available at the CNE’s Craft Beer Garden. A first for the CNE, the Craft Beer Garden is headed up by Jed Corbeil and Curt Dunlop, proprietors of the Griffin Gastropub of Bracebridge, ON and the brains behind the Muskoka and Session Craft Beer Festivals.

Along with Sawdust City and Niagara College, the CNE’s Craft Beer Garden will have 10 other Ontario Craft Brewers on hand to sample their wares and educate people on the wonderful world of craft beer.
