Locals and tourists are excited about Hamilton Craft Beer! Beer lovers seek out Collective Arts Brewing on Burlington St East, near the Waterfront. Collective Arts features a large onsite brewery, store, tasting room and gallery. Daily tours and a full schedule of events make Collective Arts a popular destination. Original works by local Artists are featured on Collective’s one of a kind Art Can Designs.
Their Burlington Street building was constructed in 1947 as a brewery and housed 7 different breweries over the years. Collective Arts Brewing restored the building and blended the “made in Hamilton” craft beer tradition with strong support for local artists and music.

Shawn & Ed Brewing Co (lagershed.com)
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.
