Niagara Now covered the new collaboration between Silversmith Brewing in Virgil and Niagara College’s Teaching Brewery to produce different, all-natural cask beer every week, year-round.
Beers will be brewed by students in the third semester of the Brewmaster and Brewery Operations Management program using hops from NC’s on-campus hop yard. Casked beers have sugar and yeast, which gives them a distinct flavour.
Ben Goerzen with Silversmith said, “As part of Niagara region’s tourism area for food, wine and drink, we believe it’s important to support Niagara College and its Teaching Brewery – which is the first of only two brewing schools in Canada.”
Goerzen says that the weekly cask beers are already popular with customers.
