"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.

The 10 Best Craft Beer Spots in Hamilton for 2018
"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."
