    Yeah, same thoughts here. I like to pick up 2 crowlers so I can share with friends.

    Sitting there right now, drinking a Galaxyeah and about to grab that new one: Noonish Sun. But I think you’re correct. No mention of growlers on menu (for Juice Beyond, Galaxyeah or Noonish Sun) and 1pp on crowlers. But growler fills and no crowler limits for anything non-DDH.

    Correct, last several times I brought my growlers to fill, I got denied and only allowed a single crowler to go.

    That's unfortunate. Although, good for the locals. Sadly it's not worth my time to go there when I can get great beer closer to home.

    Disappointing for sure. No cans since May 25th is disappointing too

    This. Beer to go is a big deal. I’ve been incredibly frustrated by the lack of canning runs too.

    Why don’t you guys ask the stranger sitting next to you to buy you a crowler and give them 15 dollars? Lol

    Because crowlers aren’t 16 oz cans. I find crowlers to be an inconvenient to go vessel size.

    Not to mention their crowlers are now the price of (or in the realm of) many 4 packs.

    i personally have zero problem with the one crowler limit. i hardly go to a specific brewpub to only grab a bunch of beer to go. i usually go out somewhere to eat food, hang out, and drink beers, and if this 1 crowler limit means that some of these beers will be on tap to consume in house longer then i'm all for that.

    And I believe this is exactly the intent. Which I'm ultimately good with too.

    Right now it is for the Summer months and be re-evaluated in the Fall. We have been fighting a losing battle to keep three hazy beers on all the time due to Crowlers eating up much of the inventory. We want to be able to have a minimum of two hazy beers and this limit has helped tremendously. The transition from Roger to Eric also put us in a bind. We have since hired a full time celkerman/brewer. Once Patrick is trained up it will allow us to brew and transfer the same day. This will allow us to keep up and hopefully end yhe1 pp limit, cheers.


    QUOTE="Gambyt20, post: 6123517, member: 1095071"]Been noticing the new norm is limit 1pp for crowler only with no more growler fills. @dubo09 is this temporary to maintain availability for summer or will it be this way for the foreseeable future? I miss the days when I can swing by and fill 2 growlers for BBQs. Been a long time fan of Corridor Haze and will continue to be. Just curious if ya can shed some details and insight on this. Very appreciated and keep up the amazing haze![/QUOTE]

    I suppose the summer rush is why nothing is being canned too. I get it, completely. But that’s not to stay I’m still not frustrated by it. I love their beer, so naturally I want to bring it home in 16 oz can format.

    I was there this morning for brunch and tried juice beyond, galaxy yeah and noonish sun all which we’re excellent. Juice beyond was definitely my favorite and I got a crowler to go.I do appreciate the 1 crowler limit at this point because without it I doubt I would have had the option to try all 3.

    is it a one crowler limit per DDH beer or one crowler period choose only one?

    TigerDriver91 Zealot (741) Jan 17, 2017 Czechia

    one crowler limit per DDH beer per person. or at least i left with 1 crowler of galaxyeah and 1 crowler of juice beyond so that's how i assume it is.

    This wasn't the case for me on one occasion when multiple DDH beer was available but was told that I could only take a single crowler TOTAL to go. I went with CJB no brainer, but it kinda sucked to go home with a single crowler for the weekend. Unfortunately for me I don't have the time to sit down and have a pour(s)/meal at any brewery so I am confined to the to-go limits.

    Stopped by around noon to grab lunch. Usually do bar service as I’m there with just the wife. Sat at a booth with 4 and was able to order 2 crowlers for myself (Galaxyeah & Juice Beyond). No one else ordered anything to go.

    Maybe I was able order 2 because we were a table of 4?

    So, if a store/brewery allows someone to buy no limit and make a beer sell out very quickly and keeps different people from getting it...people complain. If a small brewery puts a limit on how much beer you can take home so more people can get it...people complain. Go figure.

    I think the thing to remember is that Corridor is a very small brewery that happens to make some great beer. I’m completely fine with the limit. I rarely get beer to go anyway, though. I enjoy having the beer in their space.
