Anyone else been there? They've been around since April. Youngens still but I've been satisfied with some of their beer and a little disappointed with others. I do feel like there is definite potential here though. Because of that I have no problem supporting them. I recall Rouge River not being very great at the beginning. Maybe for their first year, but now I think they've found their groove and are great.
Here's hoping Chronicle does well!
Also, there must be something in the water they use in Bowmanville, because like Manantler, the beer seems to have this deep, earthy, barnyard taste at times.
Interested on some of your opinions if you have any!

Well, 8 beers sampled, all solid - enjoyed them all, with a couple stand outs, "Mind Flay IPA", and "Spiced Yam Casserale" (a non pumpkin fall spiced beer that works very well).
These guys will see a revisit.

Yeah the Mind Flay was actually more impressive than I expected. A non-hazy, old school (feels weird saying that) IPA.
I finally made it to Chronicle. I had a really sub-par Dry Hopped Kettle sour. No hop presence whatsoever and barely tart. Very watery. I also had Dwarven Stout which was quite good. Lots of roasted malt, milk chocolate and very creamy. So, batting 500 for me. I’ll defintely Go back next time I’m I. The area.
Chronicle have opened a taproom and kitchen in downtown Oshawa. Menu is limited, a few apps, couple sandwiches and some desserts. A selection of their beers are also offered to-go at regular brewery pricing, which is a bonus. They're still in their soft launch phase, so it's only open Thurs-Sunday.
I went there this weekend, smash burger was tasty and the Brussels sprouts are really good. Beers are solid, generally well executed. I've always liked Chronicle and visit the Bowmanville location from time to time. Definitely a welcome addition to the area.
