    $14 for a crowler of mosaic monsoon. What's with the pricing at Corridor lately? Doesn't seem worth it anymore to stop in for a crowler when I can get double the oz for the same price.

    Popped in for crowlers of Van Hazen and MM today. 64oz rule was still on just as an FYI

    Growler - $20. Get a flip-top.

    Bartender last night said soon fills will get back to normal and 64oz limit will end. They're still recovering from the ICBW and Memorial Day massacres.

    Not a bad price for the growler, but I'm rarely in the mood to drink 64oz of the same beer in one or two sittings. I usually drink solo and crowlers are a nice treat.

    I've been buying crowlers from Corridor since they first released SqueezIt, but at this point it does not seem worth it to me to keep going back for $14-$15 crowlers.

    Yea, I picked up two crowlers from there a few weeks back and had a similar moment. After grabbing two crowlers for almost $30, I had a "what am I doing moment". I like Corridor, but the question is do I like 64oz of Corridor more than 128 oz (2 4 packs) of some close competitor for that price?

    What's FR charging for their crowlers?

    You know, I never really considered price because the beer is so tasty.

    Pretty much the same for me, but I only get a crowler every couple months or so. And when I do, it’s just one, not 4 or more. :astonished: I get my fix typically by either going there to have a few beers onsite or hitting the can releases.

    Thinking about it some, if crowler fills are causing so many of the beers to tap quickly, and causing more staff time needed to fill them (as opposed to customers that are sitting at tables or the bar), it may make sense for the higher price. But, if this is going to drive more people to actually visit to enjoy the beers onsite, that will just make the place even busier than it already is.

    I didn't check the growler price when I ordered Bendy Meme a few months ago. That one woke my ass up to alway check before ordering a growler fill :grin:

    Was at Corridor last night. Yes, Mosaic Monsoon crowlers are $14 but Pulp Hogan and Van Hazen OU812 crowlers were $11 if I recall correctly. It's expensive to make these hazies! Im not super concerned about the price. The beer is amazing.

    $14-$15 per crowler would be my cut-off point, and it has nothing to do with affording it but more so the personal principal of the thing. I took a step back last time I was at Trillium too when I realized I paid $20+ for a 4-pack of some DIPA. At some point, I just don't feel like feeding 'the machine' any longer.

    I find myself gravitating towards the Pseudo Sues, Pompeiis and Lizard Kings of the world which all hover around $10/4pack (or lower in some instances) and are all great beers.

    I am a similar feeling paying $11 a Pipeworks IPA bomber a couple years back. Moving to cans is a huge plus.

    I've switched over to the growler format at Corridor myself.

    I hear you on a Saturday, especially if one of the beers jumps out at you. Growler definitely limits your nightly options compared to the crowlers

    Mind you once the 64oz limit is lifted, I'll go back to crowlers.

    Anyone try Haze Crusade yet? I'd like to get over there this weekend to try it, although it could be tough.
