10 Best Breweries and Beer Places in Milton

"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."

"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 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."

"What is it: Another member of the unofficial Aleyards brewing collective, the fine folks at Junction pump out creative brews at an impressive pace – up to 600 small batches per year, on their count. Why go: The brewery’s setting, a former trash incinerator built in the Art Deco era (c. 1934), will take your breath away. Luckily, there are plenty of tasty, creative beers (barrel-aged porters, German-style festbiers and Berlinerweisses) to revive you."

"The Junction has quickly become the epicenter of Toronto’s burgeoning craft beer scene, and Junction Craft Brewing has been leading the charge ever since it opened in 2011. You can catch its popular train-themed beers – a nod to the neighbourhood’s history as a West Toronto rail hub – at the LCBO or their dedicated tap room. Try: The award-winning Brakeman’s Session Ale."

"Junction Craft Brewing is a craft brewery in Toronto’s Junction neighbourhood. Their brewery is housed in a former City of Toronto incinerator from the 1930s, which was decommissioned in the 80s and became a spot for raves in the 90s. You can do a brewery tour or enjoy one of their fresh craft beers in the taproom!"

"Craft beer fans in Dundas love the lagershed line of craft beers at Shawn & Ed Brewing Co. on 65 Hatt St. Shawn Till and Ed Madronich restored this historic Dundas brick building for their brewery. The building was 150 years old and badly needed work. The masthead out front shows 65 Hatt Street was originally built as a curling and skating rink."

"For People’s Pint, the name reflects the democratic process in which the brewery crafts its brews. People’s Pint started as a project in 2015 when they brought together 15 brewers from around the province to create a series of one-off beers. The concept was such a hit that People’s Pint developed from a one-time event into a full-scale project."

"From a project that involved 15 brewers coming together to craft a series of one-off beers, People’s Pint has evolved into a full-scale brewery. Some of its more popular beers are Alpine Dunkel, Alpine Hefe, Goldie Boat, Gose Cuervo, and Helles Island. All orders over $50 placed from within its delivery area get free delivery."

"Clifford has been providing delicious beer to nearly a hundred licensed establishments since 2015. However, in a way they are the newest brewery on this list as they just moved into a permanent location on Nash Road only a few months ago. It will be open to the public later this January and I’m excited to see what new beers they come up with."

"Brad Clifford first launched Clifford Brewing Company in Hamilton in January, 2015. The new brewery opened in the Fall of 2017, while its taproom and retail store welcomed guests in 2018. The space was formerly a mattress factory and when purchased was just an open industrial space."

"Clifford’s retail fridge is still OPEN for business stop in and pick up (hours below) also you can now order online for home delivery here"

"This blessed natural area contains two beautiful waterfalls: Webster's and Tews Falls. Webster's is a gorgeous tiered waterfall and Tews, which towers at 41 metres, is a rival to the grand Niagara Falls. Spellbinding views of the gorge await the awestruck visitor at the Spencer George Conservation Area."

"This tiered waterfall also called Webster Falls is one of the most beautiful places in Ontario. Its geological formations are one reason why you need to visit this place. It will never disappoint you."

"After an extensive renovation, gone are the mismatched chairs and funky wallpaper in favour of a modern take on nautical themed breakfast and lunch. This east coast warf inspired spot now serves breakfast earlier, starting at 8 am on Fridays to Mondays and 9 am the rest of the week. They serve up all the favourites — bacon and eggs, pancakes, hashbrowns, and eggs benedict."

"Just two blocks from Hamilton’s scenic harbourfront is Harbour Diner, a cosy brunch spot with real homespun charm. Served daily until 11am and well into the afternoons on weekends, their breakfast menu is full of playfully named classic items, like ‘the all aboard’ egg dish with bacon, sausage, ham, pancakes and homefries."
