MERIT BREWING LIMITED

Located in the heart of downtown Hamilton at 107 James Street North, MERIT Brewing is a brewery, kitchen, and bottle shop. Guided by a team of ambitious friends, MERIT strives to represent the heart, art, and soul of Hamilton in every beer, every bite, and every experience. Before the MERIT name represented our brewery, it was a furniture store in Nanaimo, BC, founded by Tej’s grandparents, Chanan and Charan Sandhu. They used Merit Furniture as a way to facilitate the immigration of hundreds of people to Canada, and upon their arrival employed, fed, housed, clothed, and supported them in their new life. Their work cemented the idea in our head and heart that the best businesses have a purpose. MERIT Brewing is our way to recognize their work and inspires us to build a business rooted in community. Hamilton is a city defined by merit. We know what is special about this city. We’re people that are willing to work to make our city better. We recognize our city for its merits, not for the glitz and glamour, not for surface level attractions, but for the heart and soul of the people and businesses that make Hamilton a special place to live and work.
