Trip to Hamilton, St. Catherines, Waterloo, Cambridge
Cratez and I are coming into these areas this upcoming weekend for some serious beer drinking.
So just a note to any 'towellers that want to meet up, we will be hitting up The Winking Judge, Chesters, Merchant Ale House, and The Kick Off and probably Grand River Brewing, this coming weekend. We'll also likely be flying out to Sub Saharan Africa as well. So, if you want to meet up, shoot one of us a PM and we will arrange.

Burkina Faso and Burundi are gorgeous this time of year, in fact the Burundi Beer Council's slogan this year is "Please Send Beer" (shamelessly stolen from The Onion)SteelbackGuy wrote:We'll also likely be flying out to Sub Saharan Africa as well.
Are you going to the IPA tasting at Grand River on Tuesday?

I think out plan is to hit the Judge and Chesters on Saturday night, Merchant Ale house on Sunday night, and then we will head to The Kick off and finally GRB on Monday, probably lunchtime at Kick off, and early afternoon at GRB. That said, we could be convinced to switch nights with our Saturday/Sunday plans if certain folks can only meet at certain times.
Jesse M, atre you still in school? Ditch class to meet us for beer!

I think that you may have to switch your Merch day as I am 99 % sure it is closed on Sundays.

The Merchant Ale house is only open on Sunday nights if a band is playing. You may want to give them a call ahead before you go to see if they will be open. Merch Contact. It would be a shame if you miss the place because they are closed when you arrive. That said they have awesome draught and cask beer with a great mix of pub food. Too bad I have to work this weekend otherwise I would be up to joining in the fun.

Good info. We may have to do Merch on Saturday. Fine with me, but then we miss Chesters, as it is closed on SUnday too. One cannot win!
We could supplement it with The Phoenix at the University.
Matt, look forward to seeing you!

Yeah it's Sunday to Tuesday, and we may have to reverse our schedule of days & locations based on Matt wanting to meet Monday (awesome, BTW!) and The Ale House/Chester's being closed Sunday. We'll PM all those who have expressed an interest in meeting up! CheersSteelbackGuy wrote: We may head down Sunday instead of Saturday.......I forget what we planned.

Jonas, I look forward to it, but honestly I'm not the type to argue. Once you meet me you'll see. 90 % of my posts are posted to get reactions.

Don't get a chance to go out for a pint too often these days since my last drinking buddy moved up to Strabane (I had never heard of it either). Drop me a line with the details - assuming I'm cool enough.
Sure we will, for sure.
Looks like we'll be hitting the Kick Off on Sunday afternoon, which will be our first stop.
Anyone able to met us for a pint or two, please message accordingly
