I've been busy lately, but things will slow down for me next week. I am soooo due to go out for some pints, and look forward to meeting up with "team hamilton" and its newest members!

I was in Homegrown Hamilton today for lunch and I can confirm that the Grand River Coffee Porter is still in the taps. I can also confirm that it's darn tasty.

Thanks for the welcome, and for everyone's contributions to this thread. If I organize a meetup before we finish packing, there will be trouble on the home front. :D

So I'll put the word out here soon, to see if Team Hamilton wants to do a meetup in August. Meantime, maybe I'll run into some of you at The Judge when I'm in town on a pre-move mission!

Cheers.

Looking forward to meeting Team Hamilton too. Thanks for all the info, gents.

Saw on the FB page of The Brain that Jeremy Greenspan palyed a DJ set there last Thursday. After asking around a little, someone told me they though he was the co-owner. Pretty damn cool.

He is indeed one of the owners.

Maybe you'll catch one of my (much less famous) dj sets there some time hahah...
