Brewers Journal shared on September 4 that final term students from Niagara College’s Brewmaster and Brewery Operations Management Program achieved recent success at two U.S. beer competitions.
Of the five beers entered in the 2024 U.S. Open College Beer Championship, Niagara College’s Teaching Brewery collected three medals: a gold for its Cherry Blawesome Barrel Aged Stout, a silver for its Vindobona Schrammer Vienna Lager, and a silver for its Blonde…James Blonde Belgian Blonde Ale.
Steve Gill, General Manager, Learning Enterprises is quoted in the article: “Our Teaching Brewery continues to shine internationally, proving once again that Niagara College’s level of teaching is exceptional. The hands-on learning that students get at NC is the reason they’re so successful, both while they’re studying and after they graduate. We’re very proud of our students and the Brewmaster and Brewery Operations Management Program.
Brewmaster Professor Jon Downing is also quoted in the article: “Being recognized with an award is always a great personal reward and recognition for their class and the college. Encouraging the students to design, brew and select the entries into (these competitions) allows them as a group–and individuals–to see what it takes to take a beer from an idea to an entry in a world-class event.”
