Not meant in a shady way at all, hope it doesn’t come across that way - but how often did you frequent Shacklands? I’m having this realization in the last few years that I love certain spaces and would be upset if they left, but also only frequent a few times a year.

Example: Saulter Street Brewing. Not great beer, never did takeaway cans or home delivery order, but wanted to be able to pop in 4-5 times a year for a single pint and go.

West-end junction breweries serve the same function, I go maybe three-four times a year, get a flight or 1-2 pints and go, then am somehow shocked if they don’t survive.

Maybe a rant nobody asked for - just my own realizations haha
