    Is the More/Corridor Peach collaboration bottles or draft only? Doesnt seem clear, assuming draft only

    Anyone remember if Reign in Punch was crowlered off last year? That was a Mikerphone collab so probably a strong indicator for this year

    Yes it was, I only drank it out of a crowler.

    Excellent low key event yesterday at Corridor. Grabbed a flight that included both Corridor/FR collabs
    (1) The Continential - DDH IPA w/ European Hops
    (2) New Wave Dance Craze - the sour DDH IPA in instagram pics above.

    NWDC was one funky ass beer but somehow worked. You're hit with an initial sour cherry and then the beer smooths out with a creamy finish.

    Continental was my favorite of the two. Slightly bitter finish (for some = "green") but I liked its presence. After having been in Portland earlier this month and trying their NEIPA/hazy styles...all their beers still possess the prototypical intense NW IPA bitterness. Continental has the right balance between juice and bitternes IMO.

    Snoochie Boochies and Assembly Required (Key Lime Sour IPA) were the last two.

    Looking forward to more/corridor release on Thursday and SqueezeIt (!!!) release on Friday :sunglasses:

    So tempted to stop on my way home from work. I'm sure it'll be nuts, don't know if I want that kind of scene this evening. Though...Long weekend, would be nice to have a couple crowlers of each.

    I'd love to have a sense for how much of this More collab they will have available for draft (and if the FR collabs are expected to last a few days). It's my anniversary tonight, so getting over to Corridor is probably out of the question...although not completely, as I married someone super cool about my drinking habit :sunglasses:, but I can definitely make it over tomorrow.

    Yeah I'm going to hope we are good tomorrow. I'd like to make it for the collab/Squeeze It and maybe hit Begyle for Saint Errant. FYI, there's Cubs game tomorrow afternoon too

    Am I reading right that the More crowlers will be $20? That's quite a jump in pricing.

    Looks right based on IG posts. That could make the kegs last longer, that's for sure.

    Happy Anniversary Croush and Mrs. Croush! Perhaps @dubo09 can stash a few crowlers for you and the missus.

    I'm at my O'Hare office today, working from home tomorrow (Mokena). Not driving to the city tomorrow. I'm avoiding traveling anywhere this weekend if I can avoid it. So $20/crowler for the collab and $13/crowler for squeezeit. Pissed I forgot to put a growler in my car before I left today. Meh, I'm worth it!

    $20 for crowlers is steeeeeep. I thought their Windmill collab Bendy Meme crowlers at $18 was a high.

    If you're just getting crowlers then it should no issue. I've filled 2 growlers on Saturday nights and usually in/out 15 minutes tops.

    If you're getting food...Tuesday's event with FR was chill with no wait around 6:15pm. Warm weather allowing additional seating on patio helps immensely with getting seated at Corridor.

    Thanks for the tip. Yeah just crowlers and probably a pour was just my thought.

    They say they will have surprise More handles on tonight. Wonder what that could be. Obviously no chance of Henna right?

    They commented on their Instagram post the placard is a typo and crowlers are $14 with limit 2/pp
