Niagara College’s Teaching Winery won two-gold medal rankings and third place overall at the 2019 U.S. Open Cider Championships, as shared by Education News Canada in this re-release. Cider 101 and Brut Cider made an impression on judges at one of the largest cider competitions in North America, drawing more than 300 entries from the US, Canada, Europe and the UK.
Dow Scoggins, director of the U.S. Open Beer, Cider and Whiskey Championships, applauded NC’s win.
“It’s truly amazing when a college can be only one of two cideries to win two gold medals at the U.S. Open Cider Championship, the second largest cider competition in North America. Also, what is equally amazing is that Niagara College’s Cider 101 is the only cider to win three gold medals at the U.S. Open.”
