    Crazy, I was just there last week and asked if they would ever can Pitcher of Nectar, and he said no. Pleasant surprise!

    Just got back from a trip to DryHop and Corridor. I went for the haze. Tried all 12 beers they offer, and was impressed. Brought home some good beer:
    Hazy Shade of Hipster
    Bitchin Camaro
    Salute Your Simcoe

    Salute Your Simcoe stood above the rest for me.

    Both spots were enjoyable, but I think the brews at Corridor were a little bit better for me.

    Salute Your Simcoe is incredible. Best example of the style I've had from Chicago. Didn't have Squeeze it though.

    If they make SYS with the tropical fruit hops, it's game over for me and I'm moving into Corridor.

    I like Squeezit better, but mostly because I prefer the hops in Squeezeit, and its higher abv gives it a little fuller body. I think SYS is every bit as good from a quality perspective, and it's a really easy beer to drink.

    If Corridor can do every NE IPA to the same level as either of those two, I will be there for every release I can possibly make.
