Meet the retired dentist who has come all the way from Fairfield, Ohio to go back to school at Niagara College. Davis began his first year of NC's Brewmaster program in September. He may soon be a brewmaster, but one of the College’s newest first-year students at the Teaching Brewery is much more familiar with the title ‘doctor.’
Dr. Wade Davis began his new life as a student in NC’s Brewmaster and Brewery Operations Management program in September at the age of 73, after five decades as a dentist in Fairfield, Ohio. Davis noted that he was on the verge of retirement after 48 years in dentistry when he began to consider sinking his teeth into a new venture.
“I knew that I wanted to remain actively productive,” he said. ‘I almost immediately started to think about enrolling in the Brewmaster program as a first step toward a second career.”

Niagara College Teaching Brewery


The Niagara College Teaching Brewery is where the true adventures happen. The taps are full of interesting experiments such as a Key Lime Rattler. Many of the beers on tap and in bottles are student made one-off beers, while others are year-round recipes, some of which have won several awards. Their Butler’s Bitter has won medals in the United States, Ireland, and Canada and is a well made bitter that is even available at the LCBO. Seeing the phrase Teaching Brewery in the name may lead some to believe that the beer available is substandard, but that is not the case. The brewery recently expanded and is worth visiting. The beer shop has a lot of options, and many are very good.

BeerPulse starts beer news service

BeerPulse began as http://beernews.wordpress.com back on February 29th, 2008, with a post about a popular Imperial Stout called Portsmouth Kate the Great. With encouragement from a few online strangers, Adam Nason soon bought Beernews.org. Back then, the site was just an end-of-the-night hobby fixated on finding beer news in obscure places to share with other beer geeks. Over time, the site has grown tenfold organically both in readership and scope of coverage without any marketing dollars spent. Nearly four years after it began, BeerPulse is now the web’s #1 destination for beer news. It is one of the fastest-growing beer sites on the web today, serving over 200,000 visitors a month. Both beer drinkers and industry members follow our coverage focusing on small breweries, the more dynamic part of the industry. Anheuser-Busch, MillerCoors and the like get their fair share of front page time.
