I came here a coupla weeks ago on a cycling tour of various breweries in Hamilton…read more Even though their neighbour was offering $5 pints on Thursdays, I preferred G&Gs beers. I tried Mic Drop, then brought Invisible Friend, Good As Gold home. Even though Mic Drop's description was fruity, I didn't taste any of the notes, so I preferred the 2 other cans that I brought home. Female bartender who worked during the day was very chatty and friendly! I sat at the bar, but there was also a large, outdoor patio. Highly recommended that you include this brewery when&if you're in Hamilton!

Thanks so much for the free beer! You should get yours too by just subscribe to their email list…read more I would have visit Grain & Grit even with the free beer as a incentive! The staff here is just passionate with their beers and I love their seasonal, small batch beer selection. Their Sour beers tastes so yummy. Just Peachy has this nice tartness of Niagara Peaches. You can make your own flight if you want to have a taste of different beers as it is just hard to pick just one. The interior is cute. There are picnic benches with blankets provided on a cold fall evening. Dog Friendly and they even have a weekly event for dog owners. (+1 Star from a pet lover!) And yes, they even have events that is family oriented. Worth dropping by to support this local brewery!

The tasting flight was a highlight you get to try three beers, and the pours are very generous. Friendly vibe, excellent options, and an overall great experience.

Hubby and I were looking for something fun to do on a Saturday night and we settled on Collective Arts Brewing in Hamilton. It was our first time there and it's definitely a place worth revisiting. The front part is the tap room for beer sales, and if you drive to the back, you'll get to the outdoor beer garden (with lots of shade) and access to another huge indoor beer hall. We were famished and ordered from Mel's Deli - the sandwiches were hearty and flavourful. We ordered the saucy and spicy meatball hoagie and the not so hot cheesesteak, each were $19 and came with pickles and some kettle cooked chips. The sandwiches were hot, bun was super fresh and were loaded with various toppings and cheese. To pair with the sandwiches, you can order beer on top, canned beer or alcoholic slushies. I opted for a beer flight, 4 samplers of any of the beers they had on top. There are so many options that anyone can for sure find something that they'll like. And to top off the fun outing, line dancing started at 8pm that Saturday and everyone jumped in! A side note for those with kids and dogs, they are all welcome on site! I want to say that every other table had kids. If you're looking for a fun night out, whether it's date night, girls night out or even a family outing, you have to come here!

Silversmith was such a good choice for a brewery to visit in the Niagara wine region. I'd been…read morewanting to try poutine for quite a while, and though it was available when I lived near Detroit, I never trusted that I was close enough to Quebec for it to be good. I decided maybe Virgil was close enough to try it, and oh my goodness - I understood at once why poutine is so popular. If you also hail from a poutine-less area of the world, fear not - done well, it's a great dish. The beer was also excellent. I can see why The Black Lager is Canada's most award-winning Schwarzbier. There are some really good schwarzebiers in my city, and Silversmith's is right up there with them. I also have a Nut Brown Ale, and a small size of the Motueka, both of which I would get again. They know what they are doing with their food and drink. And the atmosphere is really good as well. The old-church-turned-brewery is beautiful. I'll let the pictures in other reviews do it justice. The service was good. It was relatively busy the night I was there, but the service was still quick enough and even a bit conversational - I recall one of the bartenders worked at Silversmith in the warmer months, and travels southeast Asia in the colder months, which is pretty cool. I would likely be a regular if I lived in the area.

The Naughty Neighbour Pale Ale and Wicked Awesome IPA are absolute classics, and the Headstock is a flavourful West Coast IPA. The Raspberry Jam Stand is juicy, thick, and jammy--without that off-putting aftertaste some sours have (my wife and I are picky with sours, but this one is fantastic!). We genuinely enjoyed all the beers except the Cucumber and Lime Gose. The vibes at the brewery are great, often enhanced by live acoustic performances. A solid spot for beer lovers!

While shopping for beer at the LCBO, my wife had the very good fortune to run into Angelo from…read moreNickel Brook. Angelo saw my wife looking at the beer selections trying to find something I would like. He stepped in and asked several questions and curated a selection of Nickel Brook beers for me. Huge kudos to Angelo for some really amazing customer service. He clearly stepped out of what I assume a territory rep would normally be asked to do in patiently walking a customer who doesn't know much about beer through selections and making recommendations. While I would assume that sales are his primary responsibility, it was really refreshing to see a sales rep with this level of customer service for a single customer. All brand ambassadors in area reps should strive for his level of service and knowledge. To say that the beers were all awesome as an understatement. I'm a big fan of lots of the Ontario craft beers especially Collective Arts, but I have a new favorite and that's absolutely Nickel Brook. Angelo, if you get to read this, thank you so much! If anyone at Nickel Brook gets to read this Angelo is awesome!

Female bartender was very friendly. Place was quite lit on a Saturday afternoon. There was a long, communal picnic table outside, but no umbrellas in sight. Selection wasn't huge, there was a few beers on tap with 4 samples in a flight ($14). Glasses for the flights were quite BIG! Please see pic. The DDIPA/stout were standouts. There wasn't any food/snacks - maybe chips - on-site, but there was someone doing a BBQ outside, but I was unsure whether or not that was a Saturday special as I didn't see any signs.
