SuperCrawl

The arts and cultural scene has been exploding in Hamilton. Whether you love theatre or dance, music or visual art, modern or classical, the scene has come alive. One key event which has drawn great media attention and thousands of participants is the James North Art Crawl.

Art Crawl is monthly event held on the first second Friday of each month. Dozens of galleries and studios launch new exhibitions, musicians perform in the street, local artist sell their wares, the Art Bus delivers visitors from far and wide – and hundreds of people fill the sidewalks as they weave through the event.

This year, in celebration of the collective success of this bourgeoning neighbourhood James Street North is hosting SUPER CRAWL.

What is SUPER CRAWL?

Imagine Art Crawl on a half dozen energy drinks.

First, we’ve received permission to close down James Street between Cannon and Wilson – this will allow throngs of people to fill the streets and freely enjoy the area.

It also means we have the ability to bring in a flat bed truck equipped to present an incredible music show coordinated by Sonic Unyon, CFMU, C101.5, and numerous other local musicians of every variety.

Add local artists and organizations sharing info and selling work, unique food offerings from area restaurants, a food drive by Hamilton Food Share and plenty of spontaneous activity – and you’ve got SUPERCRAWL.

McAuslans Beer - Sponship anounced.

Our History

    McAuslan Brewing began operations in January of 1989. Located at 4850 St-Ambroise Street in Montreal's St-Henri district, it has established itself as Quebec's foremost micro-brewery.

     The brewery launched its first beer in February 1989. St-Ambroise Pale Ale was an immediate success. Its distinctive hoppy-ness and clear reddish hue set it apart and gained it an instant following. Shortly after, McAuslan Brewing became the first micro-brewery to offer its product in bottles.

     Since that time, McAuslan Brewing has steadily expanded both its brewing capacity and its place in the market. In the ten years since launching St-Ambroise, the brewery has introduced four new beers: St-Ambroise Oatmeal Stout in December of 1991; the Griffon brands, Griffon Extra Pale Ale and Griffon Brown Ale in April of 92; and Frontenac - first test-marketed in the Quebec-City area in November 1995 and then launched province-wide in April 1996.

     In June 1997, the brewery launched a family of seasonal beers. The four beers are brewed exclusively in season and include: Apricot Wheat Ale, brewed in the spring; Raspberry Ale, available during the summer months; Spiced Pumpkin Ale for the fall; and Strong Ale, for the winter.

     In 1998, McAuslan, in conjunction with Verger du Minot, began distributing cider on draft. Mystique Cider in bottles was launched the same year.

     McAuslan Brewing is essentially the result of president Peter McAuslan's belief that he could brew a better beer and that Quebec consumers would provide a loyal following for it. Although he had been brewing his own beer for more than 25 years, it was only during the early '80s that he began seriously considering going into commercial brewing. In August 1987, he left his position as a senior administrator at Dawson College and dedicated himself to turning his vision into reality.

     The next year was spent consolidating funding, acquiring expertise and equipment, as well as gathering a team of people with the skills and temperament to make the venture a success. An English brewmaster was hired to develop the recipe for St-Ambroise and he, along with Ellen Bounsall, a biologist who trained as a brewmaster, set about the important task of establishing the brewery's reputation for distinctive beers that have since been acknowledged by critics internationally as being among the world's best. The brewery's beers have now won over 12 medals in international competition including a platinum medal, a gold, five silvers and one bronze.

Although the staff at McAuslan Brewing has expanded from five to 40 people, the brewery retains its character as a business on a human scale and with a human face. McAuslan Brewing's commitment to being active in the community has been affirmed as the company has grown. Critical to this has been the company's support of the arts, community events and charities that are a vital part of the social fabric of the communities in which its products are sold.

Sponsor Announced - Red Hill Coffee Trade

Fri, 2 Oct 2009 22:21:15 -0400

BIO: RED HILL COFFEE TRADE
(From Green Bean to Great Coffee!)

A new coffee tradition has begun in Hamilton! Red Hill Coffee Trade imports and roasts the finest fair trade and organic coffee from nine origins. Owned and operated by Jason and Rachel Hofing, RHCT is dedicated to bringing coffee lovers fresh, artisan roasted coffee. We are ready to give Hamilton a reason to drink coffee black again.

RHCT began with the concern of how our consumption in North America affects those in other countries. It is our desire to encourage people to take on the fight against “cheap” consumption, to become aware of unethical business practices, and to take an active approach in being people who respect the earth and not just those who consume its resources.

Red Hill Coffee Trade is named after the Red Hill Valley. Our roasterie is located nearby the Valley, on the escarpment. We wanted a name that would establish us as a local business. We also enjoy the image of coffee farmers in the fields and mountains harvesting the coffee cherry. When the coffee cherry is ripe it is a beautiful red.

RHCT is committed to helping build a stronger Hamilton by encouraging people to participate in eating locally, supporting ethical small businesses, and promoting the arts.

Our website is updated regularly as to where we will be next, descriptions of our coffee, a list of where our coffee is available, links, and customer recommendations of what to read, watch, and listen to. Visit our website at www.redhillcoffee.com

Red Hill Coffee Trade is proud to support this year’s Supercrawl and to sponsor’ at Sonic Unyon Records AfterParty featuring Jeremy Fisher, Said the Whale, Hannah Georgas, and more.

Coffee will be available during SUPERCRAWL in the courtyard at Christ Church Cathedral, 252 James St. North. See you there!
