Heading to Waterloo this weekend. Any recommended pubs for craft brews?

I did a keyword search in this forum, got some hits, but couldn't read the posts. Got an "access denied" message. :(

Kick Off is my favourite place in Waterloo. It is in the plaza between the 2 universities.

I hope that wasn't the plaza which had the terrible fire 2 weeks ago!

It is the same plaza, but the fire was on the other side (RIP Mel's). There is a whole parking lot area that is between the fire and where Kick Off is, so I'm assuming the businesses there are operating as usual.

Thanks guys. I've checked out a lot of places from your posts. Seems like the challenge is to find good beer and a good menu/kitchen in the same place (for the people with me who don't share my growing passion for micro beers!).
