Merit Brewing

What a fantastic spot. We stopped here on the recommendation from our bartender at the mule, so glad we did. The staff were all so friendly and chill. The resturant itself had great vibes and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. You seat yourself and order at the bar. a decent amount of beers on tap. Also, the bacon mac and cheese was amazing.

Not a bad spot. You have to go to the bar to order so service is ok. The atmosphere was nothing impressive. Fries were good I would suggest ordering them. All beers were very strong.

Had the Mac and cheese with fried Brussel sprouts and Sausage - so good. Love the Waves sour as well.

Beer is always excellent, and the food is genuinely inspired! Hadn’t been in a few years and if anything it’s only gotten better with time.

I am so surprised that Merit only has a 3.6/5 rating on here - it deserves a 5/5. The atmosphere is fantastic, the people working are so nice and their food and beer are incredible. We discovered it about a month ago and have come 4 times since. The fries and all the dip options are so good (we recommend the curry dip), and the sausages are so unique and tasty. We came back for Mother's Day on their anniversary weekend and they were giving away merch which was awesome too! We will be back lots!

There are a lot of good, some great, breweries in the GTA. To me, MERIT is the best of the best. They offer some more traditional tasting beers, but what I really love about them, is their experimental wine & beer…beers. Absolutely fantastic stuff, unlike anything I’ve had before. And, what really tips them over the edge for me, is their food selection. While most other breweries offer a sad bag of chips, or the weekend food truck, the food selection at MERIT is genuinely top tier. If you’re looking for the best beer in Hamilton, or the GTA, look no further than MERIT.

UPDATE: Back again to meet up with our downtown kids! My ongoing passion for Merit's Waves continues. My companions had 'This is the way', 'Call me if you get lost' and Waves. To meet our dining needs, we went for "All the Sausages." The Andouille, Pozole, and Cheddar Smokie were fantastic. The side dishes are delicious - the garlic pickles and mixed pickles were devoured. December 5, 2024 M, S, C & J ORIGINAL REVIEW: Yet another great visit to Merit! Never disappointing, and always an upbeat positive vibe. I'm in a bit of a rut with Merit brews - only Waves and always Waves (but I do love both versions). My partner branches out more, and she had Young Rival. It was apparently very delicious. The staff are all so very friendly and welcoming! Thank you! January 13th, 2024 Cynthia and Jamie

Merit was an amazing brewery. From the moment we walked in til the moment we paid our tab, we had nothing but friendly and knowledgable bartenders. The beers were great, and the food was astounding! The sausage, WOW! And the fries really are the best in Hamilton (and maybe even further)! It is a nice spacious area with picnic tables, like a share table type set up. Everything was clean and so comfortable....but, again, gotta say how AWESOME the bartenders were! Rob was so welcoming and friendly and really made the whole experience wonderful!
