    The post could go both ways but HoW posts for sure lean to be negative- that's known and been brought up many times..

    You have to just learn to ignore him. Replying only encourages him. Try not to fall into the trap.

    I'm personally okay with most styles of post as long as they're not personal attacks. I can see how the Roger/Corridor comment could be taken both ways, but we might as well move on. This is taking valuable time away from talking about how good our local options are quickly getting. :grinning:

    I need that M-43. I've heard nothing but fantastic things about it! I'm jealous.

    Hey guys, it's very easy to click on someone's user name and click "Ignore". My experience here has improved drastically since I did that.

    So I finally ended up checking out Corridor yesterday. Good little place and the employees were excellent. Spent a few hours there sampling everything. Most things were good-to-above-average range, but you guys were right. Squeezit is legit. And I'm very critical of the NEIPA style. To me its unlike Trillium/Tree House as its not pure juice, it has a nice hop bite (and that's how I prefer them). Definitely the best representation of the style I've had from this city, so definitely looking forward to future visits.

    Only disappointment is that they didn't have any brett beers on. Hopefully next time I'm in they will have something.

    Was unfortunately really bummed out with the Son of Juice cans. Hadn't had SoJ in awhile but it wasn't anywhere near as tasty as I remembered.

    Was in Standard Market (Westmont) about 2 hours ago in the beer department. I was just browsing, and the beer seller/worker asked if I was looking for anything in particular. I asked if they carried Hubbards Cave. "No" was the response. I asked if they carried Hailstorm. He wasn't sure. I told him I was just checking around for some NEIPA styles. His response: "All of our beers from the east-coast breweries are over there." Me: [blink, blink, blink].

    total speculation on my part, but it seemed like they struggled to sell through their pre-filled crowlers last time around....might be part of why none this time

    FYI my BA patrons........I was communicating with the brewer of Corridor through Facebook and was told they will be tapping their next "hazy" beer this Wednesday, "Salute your Simcoe", 5.4% double dry hopped Simcoe pale ale. Available on draft, and crowler/growler fill.

    I thought they only did crowlers once they ran out of growlers to maximize revenue?

    They only do crowlers if RAM Wheeling brings over their crowler machine.
