If you’re looking to beat the heat with a gourmet burger and craft beer then drop anchor, the cool gastro pub is your preferred port of call. Address: 23 Augusta Street, HamiltonPhone: 905-526-0792"

"I won’t go into the embarrassing details, but it was on the night of my birthday, and I was drinking stupidly on an empty stomach and - anyways, the people at The Ship are good sports. Even more importantly, their food is bloody brilliant."

"Aside from being a brewery, Merit Brewing is also a bottle shop and a kitchen that offers good food. They work hard to represent the art and character of Hamilton in each food, each beer as well as every experience they share with people. Their culinary and brewing techniques are inspired by the tradition that pushes aromas and flavors to speak on why they brew."

"When it comes to the perfect location in Hamilton for a craft brewery, MERIT nailed it. Another newcomer within the past year, this brewery is located right at James and Wilson across from the August 8 plaza. This one’s for the real craft beer nerds as they are constantly experimenting with their brews and do little to appeal to the casual beer fan."

"Merit Brewing first opened in May, 2017 and was founded by Tej Sandhu, Aaron Spinney, and Jesse Vallins. Tej and Aaron met in Hamilton while attending school. After their careers had them living apart the duo decided the time was right to create the brewery they dreamed of years ago."

"Fairweather has only been open since May of 2017 but they have already established themselves as one of the top breweries in the city. They have ten taps with a constantly rotating selection of beers ranging from IPAs to sours, saisons to porters. If you find yourself in the McMaster area, this and Grain & Grit (only a two minute walk away) are musts for grabbing your craft beer fix."

"This newer arrival to the west end is committed to both creativity and tradition. Visitors have a tough choice choosing between favourites like American Oat Porter and High Grade American IPA in a warehouse-based taproom. After sampling, take home some souvenir bottles, howlers (32 oz.) or growlers (64 oz.)."

"This brewery features a bottle shop and taproom, including a patio with 60 seats as well as 10,000 sq. ft. brewing facility. They offer different types of beer like oak-aged and fruited beers, classic continental lagers, IPAs, silky stouts and porters, and more."

"Is it the fourteen taps that change up almost every day, the dimly lit, relaxing vibe or the friendliness of the staff and regulars every time I drop in?. I like to think that it’s a combination of all of these things. Located on James St. N near the Mulberry Coffeehouse and across from the armoury, The Brain is the ultimate hangout spot for craft beer lovers in Hamilton."

Baked fresh daily, The Donut Stop serves up all the classics."
