    This one could be a record breaker. I anticipate only making it until early Sunday for Squeezit.

    That's it. I'm hopping on the Brown Line from the loop this afternoon and picking up my crowlers.

    Damn you Corridor [shakes fist in the air]!

    I think you need a daily reminder set up on your phone that says..."Don't worry, there will always be more beer". I have really enjoyed Corridor's hazy beers, but there are a few that I've missed, and I'm OK with that.

    Haha I've missed a few releases as well. It was more in jest than anything else. I'm good with H2H!

    Besides, our commissioner is the head brewer at metal monkey. He's beginning a barrel of one of their pale's.

    Yeah, I figured it was (somewhat) in jest, but when you're the guy buying 4+ crowlers of some of these, we never can tell!

    This isn't directed at you, but it seems like there is a good amount of FOMO going on with these local hazy IPA's. I will admit to having the bug a bit 2-3 months back, but over the past 6-8 weeks, I've eased up on trying to get them. Maybe every once in awhile get some NvU, Double Daisy Cutter, etc. at the store, or try a different beer or two while visiting Corridor, Forbidden Root, etc. It seems like people might burn out on this style with how much focus there is...but maybe that's just me.

    That definitely makes sense. It all comes down to choices. I come into the city once a week and generally have to make a choice as to what place I want to visit. If I tried to hit up every place that is turning out quality beer now, I'd either be a serious alcoholic or would run out of money. At the moment I go strictly to Corridor (haven't been to or had a Forbidden Root in probably 2 months now... again, choices) so it's quite easy to try every new batch that's released.

    Only beer I have been buying the past few months is crowlers of Corridor and Forbidden Root's can releases.

    Let's say I am a happy man.

    Isn't there a saying about variety being the spice of life? :wink: Honestly, though, if it makes you happy and you enjoy it, then that's the right thing to do. I just can't keep drinking one style of beer like that...and that isn't a dig against the NEIPA style or those breweries, as I would feel that way if I kept drinking stouts or PW's IPA's, etc. I've ended up with a couple 4 packs each of M-43 and Transient in my fridge due to a recent trip to MI, and I'm already itching to try something else.

    I know the easy solution to only being in the city once a week and having to make those tough choices. :wink:

    I agree with the saying!! I usually get my variety when out at bars/breweries. I just prefer having a NEIPA on a weekday night as it is currently my favorite style.

    Just a couple 4-packs. Not sure if you were implying I was hoarding or something along those lines, but I definitely don't think that's the case for a beer that is distributed regularly each week all across the state.

    Love variety. I still enjoy some macro brews from time to time. Take a look at my beer fridge, very little Corridor.

    @dubo09 does Corridor fill flip-top growlers (2L)?

    They should. I had a 2 liter stainless steel shorts flip top that they filled a couple months ago

    Yes, there's a solution, but there are some tough choices out here in suburbia as well!

    It is. One of my buddy's wasn't a fan so he brought over the rest of it. Been kind of just chilling in there for a bit. I ordinarily don't keep that much Coors and Sam Adams in my fridge. My fantasy football draft is Saturday and crafts aren't very good for drinking games.
