Chicagoland NE IPAs (2018)

remember paying 13 for the juice beyond, with mystic fog being a DIPA technically, i can see why they are charging more.

however, that's on the border for me price-wise, and it'd have to really standout for me to buy a crowler.

 

I would never pay that much for a NEIPA crowler. Barrel Aged beer per ounce sure but that is getting to price gouging levels for me no thanks.

 

Yeah I had to do a double-take when I saw the $17 crowler price for MF. Pretty sure my pint was $7? Maybe it was a misprint? And the growler was $21 so that makes even less sense. Why would you pay $17 for a crowler when a growler is $21? Trading is the only reason I can think of.

 

Someone has the menu on their Untappd checkin and you are right. Tricky to do a growler of a DIPA but a far better deal as you said

 

I just enjoy crowlers because it's easier for me to drink. I've been huge fan boy of Corridor from the first SqueezIt. Thought prices were reasonable for both to-go and onsite. This is a little different. I guess I'll look harder at pricing next time I'm in.

 

Yikes. If $17 a crowler for great Corridor beer is the norm I'll stick with TG 4 packs and be happy...

 

Everyone. Go find Toppling Goliath Hopsmack ASAP. On par with the best stuff from Corridor. Really reminds me of Van Hazen. Super juicy but a nice bitter bite on the finish. Says 100 IBUS but really feels like half that.

 

I could (and have) drink growlers of DIPA, but mainly prefer crowlers (or howlers) because growlers are about 1/4” too tall for the shelves in my fridge and there’s only so much space in the door. Corridor is convenient for me since it’s by my son’s school, but that also means I rarely have enough time to drink onsite. But I don’t like crowlers enough to overpay. This is kind of a bummer, I was planning to stop in tonight too.

 

Hello everyone, I truly apologize for the inconvenience. I take responsibility for the error as I do the pricing. My inputed pricing into my spreadsheet incorrectly. No excuses I screwed up. If you see me or Roger at Corridor and you were affected by this mistake we would like to buy you a beer. Just grab one of us and let us know your handle and that you bought an overpriced crowler and we'll make it right. Again I apologize and will double check my math in the future, cheers.

well since I've got you here, my asshat coworkers and I are doing a brewery tour as part of our holiday party, Monday, March 5. Do you have any parking available midday-ish? And possibly cans? Otherwise I'll just bring a growler

 

Parking is free on Janssen, Cornelia, and Greenview from 6am-6pm. Usually very plentiful. There is also metered parking on Southport and Cornelia that is available.

 

What holiday does your company celebrate in early March?

 

Christmas. Don't fully understand why, but I'm told we're too busy during the holiday season to handle such a venture.. so we wait 2 months just to go on a Monday ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Or your employer doesn't want to spend a bunch of $$ to do it around the holiday season.

 

Ah yes, Un-Orthodox Christmas....

 

absolutely this. and on a monday to boot?

i'd plant the seed now with my fellow co-workers to have everyone take Tuesday off and make the superiors and their wallets sorely regret ever concocting such a shameful excuse for a "holiday party"

 

Gets bill- "Who the hell was ordering these 10 growler drinks at $25 per drink?"

 

As someone who hasn't had a holiday party on any day or month in over 10 years, the alternative could be just to enjoy yourself at a free party?

 

well beer prices don't change on a day to day basis, and we're hitting 8 back to back open tab. Goose Island brew pub better have something good collecting dust back there. Think we're doing Moody Tongue, Corridor, GIpub, Revpub, FR, and likely a couple of audibles depending on what's actually open on mondays or not. Should be interesting.
