    Corridor tapping not until 5 today, so looks like I will just stop in tomorrow mid-day. Brewer told me each beer they brew is a 10 barrel batch (20 kegs worth), so no rush guys ha

    DBL Splash is hitting right now- WareHouse just got it. Then they usually head north

    I wish Marz had a better price point, their beers are definitely good but I cannot justify buying their beer more than once in a blue moon because of the price

    They have awful pricing for sure. It's sad I just bought one bottle for price as quad of stratus. But Bc I have to try everything.....

    Do you happen to know pricing on a growler of this? I think squeezit was $16. I should have gone for a crowler. it was good but by the end of the day Saturday I was over it. needed someone to share with!

    I had the last batch of Double Splash on tap at The Beer Cellar a couple of weeks ago. Not sure if the recipe is different, and I know what the picture looked like, but I don't think of it as a NEIPA. It was pretty good but I thought it was a juicy IPA with some bitterness.

    Would imagine it would be around the same price point?

    Could be less Bc of the ABV aspect but it'll be close

    Today is my best bet to get to Corridor so I'll be there at 5

    Very easy drinking. Lots of citrus. Menu says berries but I'm getting mango. This is good. I'm leaving with at least two crowlers of this.

    Yeah, spoiler alert, guys:

    Corridor can do NE IPAs.


    edit: and yeah, @BornAJJee is right about the mango.

    Got in early for Squeezit and was able to go back for more a couple times. Here now and I'm not the first person to order "the new ipa". Word is getting out.

    Impression I got from talking to the crew at Corridor is that they're pretty excited about these beers, which I really appreciate. It's always fun when you're not the only one getting pumped for a beer release.

    Just arrived. Definitely hazy, fruity aroma and crushable. This should be a nice change of pace at DLD.
