    Thanks for the quick response. I don't have to send the GF for a fill this morning then. I am sure she appreciates the heads up lol.

    Squeezit is incredible.

    Dude told me there were 3-4 barrels left as of yesterday.

    And $16 for a growler is a steal. Especially when a "pint" is $8.

    I will have my steel swing top shorts growler ready to go! $16 is reasonable for sure.

    Right on. I wish some other regional brewers of NE IPA would learn about "bulk discount" regarding beer pricing. Just because you can gouge the customer, doesn't mean you should.

    Honestly, only downside to Squeezit and beers of the like (stuff at Forbidden Root, etc.) is that sometimes I don't want 32 oz. of it at once.

    I can see that. Often times after a pint I'm done with it. I will prob share my growler tomorrow while grilling tbh.

    Haha, no way! I'm in the same boat as @Kraj30 on this one, as when I was at Corridor yesterday I also had 4 16oz pints of it back to back and was debating getting a 5th. Lol.

    To be clear, it's not really an issue of not wanting to drink it. It's mostly that I'd rather not A) drink all of it at once (because I like to enjoy good beer over time) and B) try not to drink that much at once during the week (combo of it being a work night and me trying to be good about caloric intake before the weekend). 32 oz is perfectly fine, for example, tonight.

    The other thing is that I'm trying to cut back on my beer spending, and essentially $10-12 a beer (which is still a good deal per oz) is doing the opposite of that. :stuck_out_tongue:

    Do they still have crowlers at Corridor? Or do i need to bring my own? I'm excited to try it. Have had just about every NE IPA from Chicago and I am ready for a new favorite!

    I would call ahead to make sure, but pretty sure they still have a good amount.

    Never heard of bringing your own crowlers.

    I think he means crowlers = canned 32 oz. growlers, done on premise.

    I usually use "howler" if I'm talking about a 32 oz. glass growler.

    Anyone try QC Haze by Bent River Brewing out of Rock Island? I just picked up a bomber at Binny's. Price was decent at $7.99.

    Looks like you need to create a Chicago Lagers thread.
