    Juice Beyond was very good; needs a few more days in the tank before alchemy turns it from bronze to gold.

    Haven’t been in ages. Stopped in for lunch. Juice beyond was very enjoyable. Crowler for neon party for tonight. Food was good! Was nearly packed just now when I left.

    Keep up the good work!

    Neon Party is done but Juice Beyond is fantastic!

    Had Neon Party around 1, right after I was out at More. More's latest offerings are huge misses. Neon Party was okay. It lacked flavor, IMO. The Juice Beyond was definitely better and one of Corridor's top 2 or 3 offerings (Cosmic Juicebox and Squeezit OG being the other 2).

    You can get just about every Forbidden root beer in howlers / growlers for quite a while afterward too so this doesn’t really make any sense if you’re arguing that Corridors availability is greater than FR

    I was defending someone else's post. You may be a little late to the quote following party.

    Someone inquired what was meant by availability by a brewer that doesn't distribute. I think my statement makes perfect sense on explaining it.

    Going back to the origin of the quoted chain, It doesn't matter whether FR is more available, as pointed out by others, Corridor is the better NEIPA producer.

    Juice Beyond is freaking fantastic. Just in time for the weekend. Keep the amazing haze coming!

    The Juice Beyond is my all time favorite hazy. Hopefully I can make my way down there this week.

    I don't think this is an indisputable fact or anything. It is definitely just personal preference, and I personally think Forbidden Root is better.

    I preferred Juice Beyond far more over Neon Party. Actually, Juicy Beyond may be a top 3 Corridor beer for me. There is no flaw in this beer. Look, aroma, tropical flavor and feel are all hitting the mark for what I expect out of a NE IPA. Bravo.

    I imagine it’s only an improvement from the last version, which was fantastic.

    I don’t know what else you could want from the style. I feel like once you hit a certain level, the differences are so trivial that you’re just trying to justify your biases

    I shared my last crawler of Neon Party on Monday with a few people (big mistake ha ) and it tasted miraculous. The hop combo really made this stand out from a lot of the other hazy beers they have done and the lower bitterness really added to the juicy flavor. Its probably tied for my favorite batch of Corridor beer.

    Also tried Juice Beyond later that same night and while it smelled perfect the taste was a bit muted from what I remember. It also felt just slightly undercarbed. It might have been my palate though. Will report back after I crack one of my crawlers later this week. Prior to this pint, TJB was my favorite from them .

    Interesting. When I had Neon Party at the DryHop Tap Takeover and in a growler a few days later my only complaint (very minor) was it being undercarbonated.

    Growlers always make IPAs seem a bit flat in my opinion.
