Looks like Fraser Mills Fermentation has closed down and is now replaced by Train Wreck. Rumour has it that some of the old staff are helping run this new place.
Parking is plentiful on St. Johns, as well as the side street. There is a small lot, but it might be part of a patio. There is also a food truck (I imagine rotating) in front.
The building is pretty bare bones right now. There is a bar area, 2 seating areas, and a stage for what I assume will be future live music. And of course the patio area in front.
The venue was still doing a soft opening as of the time of writing. As they haven't received their flight paddles yet, there were no flights available. I was forced to order 16oz sleeves instead. The taster glasses still say FMF (Fraser Mills Fermentation) on them.
At this point, the beers are honestly quite mediocre. Everything was quite bitter despite being non ales, including the "lighter" ones such as the Cerveza and the Citrus IPA. I honestly had a bit of trouble deciding what to order, as nothing really stood out in a good way. The staff were understanding though, which is greatly appreciated.
Honestly at this point it might be better to give them a few weeks to work out the kinks. read more
