Great Weiss North is an All-Canadian brew in every sense of the word. Made with an ingredient from every province and territory in the country, it is a unique beer that was designed to showcase all that Canada has to offer. The idea was the brainchild of Sawdust City Brewing Co. Brew Master Sam Corbeil, the beer itself was designed and made by Jon Downing, Brew Master and professor at the Niagara College and a team of his first year students from the College’s Brew Master and Brewery Operations Management course. Along with an array of malts, supplied by Canada Malting, and home grown organic Ontario hops, the beer also features a variety of interesting ingredients such as Birch Syrup from the Yukon and teas from the North West Territories and Nunavut. Available exclusively on tap at the Craft Beer Garden at the 2011 Canadian National Exhibition, and in growlers at the Niagara College Teaching Brewery retail store.
