FM, making the city of Barrie proud again. Good work guys!

So at this point we can pretty much assume the rumoured Founders feature was just a pipe dream?

The plan foundered. Our newfound optimism was profoundly unfounded.

Well that sucks. The brewery isn't that far away though, and Port Huron is even closer, so no big loss.

To be honest, it's a little hard to be excited about the Shipyard Feature. I wasn't really crazy about the pumpkin last year, and their other beers seem to get pretty medicore ratings. Not bad - just not great.

The Nogne beers look pretty interesting though.

I have to agree Jeff, shipyard falls into the same category as magic hat for me. Not bad but not great.
