    Appreciate you keeping us up to date! I'm coming up for a concert Friday and probably going to Corridor for lunch with a friend that afternoon. Think Bendy Straw will make it that long? Sounds like Cosmic Juicebox will be gone. Anything else new getting tapped this week when it kicks?

    We hit Corridor for brunch yesterday and enjoyed all 6 beers on tap. Bendy Straw was the clear winner. Even better, the food was fantastic. Will return next time in Chicago.

    Bendy Straw isn't my favorite from Corridor (it tasted a bit like orange soda to me) but like every NE IPA I've had from them, it was above average & had a great, soft mouthfeel.

    I can't wait to see what's next!!

    Ehhhhhhhh it's going to be real close. I think it might squeak to Friday lunch. I'll know more tomorrow morning and will update. Cosmic has been gone for a couple weeks. We are transferring another Hazy this upcoming week. It's the return of OG SqueezIt. I'll update the date of release tomorrow as well. I can say it will definitely be on by Friday, 7/28.

    I stopped in with the wife and kids for lunch/brunch today for our first full meal here. The food was great (chicken & waffles for me and croque madame for my wife...plus solid chicken tender and cheese omelet options for the kids) and I had a chance to try Bendy Straw. It was good as expected, and think it was superior to Cosmic Juicebox (I opened a crowler of this last night, and found it to be a bit thinner than I'd like). I'm thinking maybe the lactose had an impact on that for me.

    I also had Pining the West, which was a nice change of pace - solid IPA. My wife also had a couple Cherry Waves, and we both really liked that. Tasty saison, with just a bit of cherry but not too much.

    We've already told my brother and sister in law that we plan on taking them to Corridor when they visit in 2 weeks.

    They posted on Twitter that the timing is TBD, but it'll be sometime in late afternoon/early evening. So, it won't be there at open. But, these beers are lasting a week or two typically, so there really is no need to get there so early.

    Crowler's range from $10-$12, never seen them be priced any more than that.

    $12 for Squeezit in a Crowler. Transferring on Wednesday. We'll tap as soon as the beer is carbonated. Hopefully no later than 5pm.

    Bendy Straw is currently at 3bbls. Which means we should make it to at least Thursday night. Possibly even Friday.

    We are getting into our Hazy groove. We are scheduled to transfer Van Hazen: Women and Children First on Monday, 7/31. 6.5% ABV DDH IPA featuring Citra, Simcoe, El Dorado. VH and Squeezit OG on at the same time!

    Also, we brewed a DDH Pale Ale today. All hail the haze.

    It was more timing for me than anything else. I'll be around that area around 11 or 12.

    @JJH1018 if you want to swing in between 11 & 12 I'd be happy to give you a sample out of the fermenter. Unfortunately can not do a Crowler or pint until later.
