4 Reasons to Visit Niagara Brewing Company

It used to be wine and the people who carefully crafted it that got all the attention, but in recent years beer lovers have been rejoicing in the fact that breweries and brew pubs have finally gotten their day in the sun. While beer has always outsold wine by far it’s only recently that professional brewmasters and the pubs that serve their creations have become staples and innovators in communities around the world.

The Niagara region is a brewmaster’s dream, as hops and the other ingredients that are vital to a delicious beer are all grown in the area, so while Niagara’s wineries have usually garnered all the attention the local breweries are swiftly catching up.

Niagara Brewing Company opened in 2015 and has quickly become the pub of choice for beer lovers from all over the world. Here are just a few reasons why you should stop in for a pint or two during your next trip to Niagara Falls.

The Location

Situated within the Falls Avenue Resort complex, and just meters from the falls themselves, Niagara Brewing Company is right in the middle of all the action. Casino Niagara, the Fallsview Indoor Waterpark, and the area’s top hotels are all within steps of the pub.

If you’ve been out exploring the area all day and simply need to take a break with a cold beer, you couldn’t pick a better place than the Niagara Brewing Company.

The Beers

Niagara Brewing Company offers a number of beers on tap, so there is ale, lager, or IPA that will appeal to just about anyone. Their Amber Eh ale boasts a hoppy flavor with notes of caramel and the Honeymoon Peach Radler is sweet in all the right places with a hint of ginger to create a smooth finish.

Their seasonal beers are definitely worth a try as well. The Hennepin Stout, White Canoe Wheat, and more are only available at certain times of the year, so be sure to ask your bartender what they’re featuring during your visit.

The Food

What’s a great beer without some great food to go along with it? Niagara Brewing Company offers a small but mighty menu featuring inspired appetizers and entrees that complement their beers perfectly. Try the homemade pretzels with a savory IPA cheese sauce or the pesto veal parmigiana.

The Brewmaster

Good beer wouldn’t be possible without a good brewmaster, and Niagara Brewing Company has the best. Brewmaster Gord Slater oversees the brewing operations here, and as a 30 year veteran in the industry, he has honed his skills in some of the best breweries in the world.

Gord embraces the technical and the artistic sides of brewing beer, and has won awards for his creations in Germany, the location some might say is the pinnacle of the industry.

Beer lovers rejoice! The next time you visit Niagara be sure to pay a visit to the Niagara Brewing Company and sit back and relax with your favorite brew.
