Canada, ON: Bench Brewing Co. to open its Niagara Region brewery on June 29

Bench Brewing Co. will open their Niagara Region brewery on Friday June 29, 2018 at 3991 King Street, they have announced.

Founded in 2016 by Matt Giffen – the company has been brewing beer on a contract basis with a focus on farmhouse and sour ales.

Built around former Maple Grove public school, the 16,500 sq-ft brewery will feature a 50hl brewing system, retail store, and 80-person tap room, 85-person beer garden, 3 acres of hop yard (plus 24 aces off site), 14 foeders, and a large coolship.

“Our goal is to be stewards of our incredible location in the Twenty Valley. We will use our land to its full potential by growing our own hops, cultivating our own yeast strains, using a coolship for our wild ales and sour beers, and aging our beers in wine barrels from our neighbouring vineyards. Our beers will always be inspired and influenced by our land, which is how we will always stay true to our roots”, explains Bench Brewing.

A beer list for opening day is forthcoming.
