    In town for business last week and really enjoyed this place. Bendy straw was great.

    So late Wednesday for Squeezit? Thinking by 5 pm? If so I can stop in before my 6 o'clock class. Either way, I'm sure I can make it in before it's all gone. Cheers!

    Ah I misunderstood. I'll be out that way on Friday. Crowlers will be available then correct? If it's still on that is.

    Fantastic. Looks I'll be grabbing 4 more crowlers and perhaps more bendy straw if yes still on. I spend too much money on beer damn it.

    Big Corridor fan, but have to ask- how do you fill a growler, but not a howler? I'm feeling bad throwing away all these 32 oz cans when I have reusable glass...

    I do that with crowlers, but would still rather fill a howler (if I'm drinking it in the next 2-3 days. I figure there is some waste still created even if I recycle the crowler whereas the howler I already have doesn't create any additional waste. But, I'm no recycling expert, so I don't know if my thinking is correct.

    The reason we are not currently filling Howlers is that our fill tubes have been creating foaming issues in the 32oz glass. This has resulted in a lot of waste down the drain, which I never want to see. I am going to work with FOH and ownership to create a solution. My theory is that the fill tubes are too long and are creating too much of an air pocket in the smaller container. We'll play with some ideas and hopefully we can begin to fill Howlers down the road.

    Having a Bendy straw at the bar eagerly awaiting 5 p.m. when the bartender says they will be serving Squeezeit. They just put the label on the tap handle and it looks like they're doing some Growler orhmmefills. 54 minutes till the action begins. Definitely interested as I have never had the original Squeezit but all the other Corridor Haze beers have been excellent.

    Cheers

    There is a slight possibility Bendy Straw will make it until Saturday. I'll update tomorrow morning.

    Bartender said they have two barrels left which was like 31 gallons. He figures the Squeezeit release should offset some of the Bendy sales and he's thinking it could last till Saturday.

    So how's Squeezeit tasting? I already know I'll be getting a fair amount on Friday. However I am curious. Fortunately I have some Radio Swan cans to get me by.
