Barnstormer Brewing Company

I couldn't see a dedicated thread for a review so I've started one.
This is a nice spot out in the middle of no where Barrie in a strip mall. The address is: 384 Yonge Street, off of the Essa Rd exit on the 400.
They've made a nice spot in an utterly featureless strip mall, lots of barnboard and nice lighting, seats probably 40 people.
I and everyone around me was eating pizza. It was very good, certainly a significant cut above chain pizza stores.
More importantly to this board, the beer was excellent.
I had a Cirrus Session IPA, lovely hop flavour and aroma. I then had a mosaic rye ale which came with a lovely head, pronounced and complex hops and a touch of spice.
I was there on Canada Day, so the retail store was getting hammered. I wanted to buy some of their IPA ($3.25/can) but it was sold out. I did get a bottle of the IPA, the Rye Ale and a few cans of Blonde. Bottles are $6/$7.
It's about 5 minutes off of the 400 so I think it's worth a visit if only to pick up a couple of new beers if you're heading north for a vacation.
