The Brain - Hamilton

Post by Cass »

I realize that it’s easier than ever to access bar beer lists in real time as everyone does QR codes nowadays. Could make for an OBDI for beer bars but can’t be bothered :)

Happened to be in Hamilton today and stopped by the Brain for the first time. Nice little spot, feels like a mashup of a bar and a coffeehouse with a lot of vintage decor touches. Great beer lineup, about 14 taps but really wide range of stuff.

QR code beer menu leads to:

That’s a pretty solid tap list. It might be one of the few and very last places where one could get some Half Hours on earth before it’s all disappeared for good.

What's happening with Half Hours? Are they closing? I haven't hear anything about this.
