On July 17, Erie Media shared NC’s release on the Teaching Winery’s bronze medal win at the U.S. Open Beer Championship on July 9 for Beer 101 Strong Ale (in the Old Ale/Strong Ale category). The Championship drew more than 7,000 beer entries. NC’s Steve Gill and Jon Downing comment on the success of the student-crafted brew and the quality of applied education offered at NC.
Dow Scoggins, director of the U.S. Open Beer, College and Cider Championship, notes NC’s continued success at the Championship, stating “Over the years, Niagara College’s students have consistently medaled at this competition – a pretty amazing fear considering they are competing with some of the world’s best brewers.”
