NIAGARA-ON-THE-LAKE, ON – The St. Catharine’s Standard reports that the brewmaster program at Niagara College first discussed last spring has been confirmed for a start date in Fall, 2010, and there is already a waiting list for the programs 24 spots.
Students taking the two-year brewmaster and beer operations management diploma will spend much of their time in the newly built, $350,000, 1,500-square-foot craft beer-making building, which will be constructed soon. Other courses will teach the 19-years-and-up crowd about beers around the world, how to evaluate the taste of suds and run a brew-based business.
The program will be taught at the College’s Niagara-on-the-Lake campus, which is already well-known for its wine making and culinary courses, making the beer program a logical fit.
