They had a while in the fall without much product IIRC. They announced a new brewmaster. And tbh, they have long been the weakest of the three Junction breweries

It's been a few years since my days of driving around the city and seeking out interesting beers, but I wouldn't describe them as the weakest of the three. Rather, they seemed to solely do beers that came from a specific vision of the brewmaster, without much regard for what was popular out there. Maybe that's "weak" in terms of making money, but they made great beers that were often a lot more interesting than what the others were offering!

Absolutely this - they didn't follow trends or offer generic brews that suck in the zombie normies. They even offered a durian IPA at one point. That made them the strongest in the area, if anything. They were the Towered of beer

Their Belgian style beers were great. But they are definitely not for the masses. Very small space, didn't help. I will miss them thoughAbsolutely this - they didn't follow trends or offer generic brews that suck in the zombie normies. They even offered a durian IPA at one point.

Yeah, I always thought Junction was the weakest of the three, especially when they moved out to Symes.
I last went to Shacklands a few months ago. The whole place was being ripped apart. Supposedly for renovations. It was technically closed (though without notice) but I managed to get a few beers from the fridge.

They have a rustic (not sure if cozy applies) space. Apparently one of the issues was neighbours not liking a business in a business area
