0

Trading Post Brewing has presented a scholarship for Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) students in John Mitchell’s name. Commonly referred to as the father of craft beer in Canada, Mitchell worked to change legislation and opened a micro-brewery and Canada’s first in-house brewpub in the early ’80s.

The scholarship is intended to ensure the future of craft brewers by supporting students in KPU’s Brewing & Brewery Operations diploma program and will be awarded to a full-time student completing their first year of the KPU Brewing Program and entering their second year of the program in the fall. According to Trading Post Brewing, the recipient of the scholarship will be “an enthusiastic student who volunteers in their community and who is an exceptional student.”

The total endowment from Trading Post Brewing is $5,000, which will be awarded as $1,000-scholarships over the next five years.
