Niagara College Teaching Brewery

Hard decision to decide between 4 or 5 star. It's a nice little spot with a fantastic variety for their small size. I tried quite a few brews while I was there. Some interesting ones that probably weren't my thing but all were quality, and some were fantastic. I didn't get the name of the guy working there last Sunday but he was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about their products. My only complaint is the same recurring one, there is no place to sit, which was my hesitation to give them the 5 star rating. I liked being able to poke around a bit in the back room which made up for the lack of a spot to sit. Overall top notch beer!

Very friendly and informative and every style of beer, wine and spirit you can imagine. I'm partial to the brewery where they're able to take you into the teaching brewery and answer any question you have.

This place was great. The students beers were well worth the ride to Canada. Jill the bartender was awesome, took us on a tour and explained the entire process. Walked out with 2 six packs and I know it was worth every minute of the wait at the boarder. Looking forward to the next time

It was great. We couldn't do some parts of the tour because of Covid but what we did was very informative. We tried a variety of beer and wine. We learned about the process to make several wines. It was a nice time. Really Enjoyed..would definitely go again

Rick helped us and was an amazing person! Rick was able to sit down with us, explain all our our wine and beer choices and help us pair why would be best. Rick was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and even more so attentive - we ended up forgetting a few bottles we had bought at the tasting centre, unfortunately. The next morning we called and Rick picked up, remembering our names and EXACTLY what we had got. He even remembered our names and our preferences in regard to our tastings when we came back THREE days later. This gentleman is truly an example of the great students that this college hosts and the bright minds of our future within wine, beer, and spirit production. Thank you very much niagara college, and an even bigger thank you to the superstar, Rick. You are a fantastic person and it was such a pleasure getting to know yourself and your background within the Philippines, thank you very much Rick! This review was meant to be produced in April, but unfortunately I am writing it now. This just goes to show how much of an impact this gentleman put on myself and my family - you are truly amazing, thank you, Rick.

I have been here on a few different occasions and it is a great spot to try some fantastic local beers and support Niagara College and the students. I find that everyone is always very friendly and more than happy to share any information with you. Beer is usually around $3 to $3.50 and you can buy one beer or a keg, they have whatever your heart desires. If you are visiting the Niagara region I strongly suggest that you make a stop at the Niagara College brewery. They also have a nice little boutique winery where you can try some of the wines that the students make as well. You won’t regret stopping by!

Really loved the option to taste a few of the distinct brews with purchase before making a purchase or pay just a tasting fee.I was impressed that they had some experimental brews. If you like craft beer highly recommend stopping by. ZFG brewer I'll miss that experimental batch!

Love this place. A list of standard brews then the fun stuff the students come up with. Wish it had tables, but it's set up for sampling then buying.Four years on and I’m still coming here. So much fun to see what beers the students have dreamt up. If you’re in Niagara, and like beer, it’s well worth the visit. Sometimes you can get to meet the brewery students or the head brewery chilling after the day. Still 5 stars. Remember though, this is the brewery around back, not the wine tasting centre. Though you can get some beers there too.

I drop in here once in a while to grab some interesting beers. My wife and I went on a brewery tour once and it was most fascinating. The students are quite passionate about their craft and the College is helping to grow the Craft Beer industry. Worth a stop!

The Teaching Brewery at Niagara College gives you the opportunity to try brews from the next generation of craft brewers. They offer beer and cider at the bottle shop and tastings in the cozy taproom. Our host, Max, was very helpful and informative. The Teaching Brewery has both recurring brews (the 101" series) as well as custom brews made by students. I am a new fan of the cider (Cider 101) and the Cherry cider (Taylor Road Cider) and brought home several of each.Thanks Max!"
