Beer lovers rejoice! Niagara-on-the-Lake's first craft brewery is about to open. Brewery partners Mike Berlis, Cian MacNeill and Kevin Somerville -- all from Niagara region -- expect to open the doors of Niagara Oast House Brewers within the next few weeks. "Our approach complements the area's wine and gourmet tradition while adding a whole new dimension," says MacNeill, the brewery's marketing manager. "Craft beer consumers have a lot in common with fine wine consumers, so Oast House is using the winery model by offering tours, tastings, and special events -- including brewmaster's dinners." MacNeill tells me the brewery has enlisted local farmers to grow its hops. "Like the terroir wines whose tastes vary with different soils, we plant hops in three different locations -- on the bench, in the interior and by the lake," he says. Brewmaster Kevin Somerville brings credentials from North American and European schools,
