    I'm pretty sad -- I'm down to 1 H2H and 1 Squeezeit crowler. Needless to say, I've consumed quite a bit of Corridor over the last 2 weeks.

    Link or it didn't happen!:grin:

    Also, I'm not a truck chaser, but if they put H2H in cans I will be truck jacking one...

    Roger said it on The Beer Temple Insiders Roundtable radio show/podcast. It'll be part of the anniversary weekend and 2-3 barrels worth canned off. No distro, only out the door

    Exactly my thought when I saw the IG post. Pineapple had me excited...vanilla, not so much.

    I'm cool with vanilla. I got a ton of pineapple from the original Bendy, so I was curious if adding additional pineapple would be overkill (such a thing??). I was still excited for it though. I thought the original Bendy was underrated compared to some of their others.

    I had an Aslin DDH DIPA called Johnn Buys a Broat, and it too contained vanilla. My thoughts were probably similar to yours intially. But after having it, it was actually quite good and I'd definitely grab it again. Somehow it all worked well and vanilla (and the sweetness) didn't overpower the beer and was only mildly noticeable. I preferred it to Double Orange Starfish (from Aslin) because the mouthfeel was so soft. @kdawgmoney had the beer with me, and I think he too was hesitant but liked it quite a bit as well. I think this Bendy Staw will be nice if everything is in balance.

    I enjoyed Bendy as well, but vanilla just doesn't do it for me at all. But, I really enjoy pineapple, so this was a huge swing for me.

    I'm really sensitive to vanilla...even not liking it in some stouts many times. In an IPA, it really doesn't do it for me. I was going to grab a crowler of Bendy Straw with Pineapple for this weekend, but the change will leave more beer for the rest of you. I'll go get more Passion Fruit Guppy instead for the weekend.

    I'm all for the vanilla. If it's anything like RAM's Mango Whisk, I'll be a happy camper.

    Tired Hand's Double Vanilla Milkshake is phenomenal.

    I loved it. Vanilla not overpowering and a great hoppy/fruity finish. It's really great.

    I'd be willing to bet they brew a version of Bendy Straw again in the not too distant future.
