Corridor Brewery & Provisions

Is the excitement for the limited can releases because of the 16oz format? I am confused as I've been going on a near bi-weekly basis over the past 4/5 months and never had an issue filling up my growler(s).

 

I think because it is easier to trade cans than crowlers.....

 

Big $ savings over the crowlers too

 

Possibly also the trading scene (easier to trade/mail 16 oz cans)

 

Very true. Though I really appreciate the pricing model Corridor has been using. Their crowlers are usually very fairly priced. Then, their 64oz growlers are usually a fantastic value - I just don't get them because I don't usually drink more than 32oz in a sitting. A lot of other places you might only save a buck or two on a 64oz growler vs a 32oz.

Then, the cans being basically the same price for 4-16oz cans vs 1-64oz growler - it's a no brainer to get the cans if you are able to make it there.

 

Somebody save me a 4 pack, can't make it for a few hours at least

 

I was there at 11:30. About 40 4packs left at that time

 

Does Corridor fill any type of growler? I have the 2L(~67oz) flip top that I like for both size and the seal it creates, and I refuse to get any more growlers especially after throwing out a useless other half dozen I had because breweries were making people buy their specific ones.

 

Won't be a problem. Haven't had an issue getting my swing-top 2L growler filled.

 

cough!

 

That color is insane.

 

dont put too much stock in that picture. i love maplewood but they have a real habit of posting pictures that look nothing like the finished product. look at pretty much every juice pants or son of juice release theyve hyped on social media.

 

I have yet to have a NEIPA 10%+ that isn't boozy as hell. That's the $hit I don't like.

 

Yep and often too sweet as well

 

I agree for anything from Chicagoland. If you ever get the chance to try Dragon Saddle from Hoof Heaerted, though - it does it well.

 

Squeezeit is legit. Low carb, low bitterness, alcohol barely detected, soft, and juicy. Just a tad sweeter than I'd like but well done.

 

Toro! on draft at FR was neither too boozy or too malt sweet. Very smooth and deceptively drinkable. The cans on the other hand...

 

Ditto. That's how I made the first ever can release at Forbidden Root, which appears to be a moot point now, but that's fine. Hope to make a Corridor release this summer. And achieve my 2018 new year's resolution of making one of the Tuesday night bottle shares at Forbidden...

 

Haha yeah you and I will both have to load up for one of those weeknight summer shares
