First Draft - Niagara College Brewmaster Program Launches First Beer

Friday December 10th was an historic day for Niagara College as they launched their first student brewed beer for the Brewmaster and Brewery Operations Management program at the Niagara-On-The-Lake campus.


The first bottle of First Draft

First Draft, as the college is calling it, is a fairly standard pale ale and was bottled in a standard 341ml non-twist bottle and will be available for purchase at the college's retail store shortly (on campus). Proceeds of sales support student learning. You can follow along at the students' website (currently being updated) at: www.niagaracollege.ca/firstdraft.


Jon Downing with some of the students

Coming up later today on the blog, Niagara Students 101 with Mark Murphy. Mark will be sharing information with us in the coming weeks on the progress of the course, introducing us to other students and will be taking us into the teaching brewery to share some tasting notes...
