Corridor Brewery & Provisions

I'm a fan. Lots of fresh strawberry. Not a lot of vanilla but good mouth feel.

 

I would have also accepted "Straw-Bendy"

 

Solid beer. Not my favorite offering they have but it is my girlfriend's.

 

Had bendy straw-berry last night. Honestly the most disappointing beer ive had from Corridor. Hops and vanilla were pretty much non existent and zero of that milkshakiness that I believe was the intent of the beer. So not as advertised. The strawberry was definitely present but given the absence of the above-referenced characteristics, the strawberry just made this beer seem like some sort of "strawberry ale" that you'd find sitting on the shelf in a bottle from a no name brewery. Not trying to be overly harsh, as I've loved Corridor thus far, just giving my objective opinion of this one beer. Cheers!

 

Nothing wrong with honest feedback...you certainly aren't being snarky or rude. I'm looking forward to trying this over the weekend, assuming it's still on...

 

I bought two crowlers the other day, cracked one last night. While its not the best beer Corridor has put out, I still think its damn good. Gorgeous head and the aroma is loaded with Strawberry. I definitely got vanilla as it warmed up, decent mouthfeel but a little thin. Not a milkshake in anyway, but its damn tasty.

 

I had a crowler as well. Tons of strawberry and still has the mouthfeel of one of their NE-IPAs. My first reaction was "this is great". By the end of the crowler, I was like "damn I wish I had shared this one" - quite a bit less enthusiastic. It gets to be a bit too much strawberry and I think the hops are kind of covered up. Particularly as the beer warmed.

Almost like I'd rate the first part of the a 4.5 at the start, a 3.5 or so at the end. So average out to a 4.0, which is still pretty darn good (where's that damn confused face emoji they used to have)?

Overall, glad I tried it.

 

@dubo09 any chance you can tell me what the saturday growler special is tomorrow for 10/14?

Hey Everyone, a little disappointed that I have to announce we have to push the Triple IPA release to the week of 10/23. In order to do it properly (achieve desired ABV and Triple Dry Hop properly) we need this extra week. It is our intent to only put out beer when it’s ready and meets our critical standards. I apologize to anyone who made plans to attend the tapping this Monday,, but I hope this is enough notice. I hope to see some of you Thursday for the Squeezit can release. Roger and I will be in attendance after the run and look forward to chatting and hoisting a few with you, cheers.

Well, that pushes my burger plans back a week, but I suppose there are other reasons to be excited for next week at you guys' place, anyway.

 

That is definitely enough notice, and a fair reasoning to why. Appreciate that quality of beer is the utmost of importance to you guys.

 

Agreed. I'm looking forward to this beer, so I'd much rather wait an extra week than have it before it's ready.

 

Drinking my first Bendy-Strawberry now. Definitely sweet (not in a bad way) with the strawberry and lactose. I know it’s 7% but I guess I want a little more body to it to have a milkshake feel. Solid though. Can’t wait for Squeeze It next week!

 

Bendy Strawberry & the coffee stout are still on (although the coffee stout doesn't appear on the chalkboard).

 

Happy 2 Year Anniversary Corridor, hoping for many many more years to come!

Popped my crowler of Lederhosen over the weekend and really enjoyed it. Hearty malt profile and lightly sweet with a clean finish made this Fest bier really enjoyable to me. Hope you guys have a great Anniversary, bummed that I will be out of town on vacation but will be happy to enjoy your new IIIPA when I get back.

Cheers

 

Bendy Strawberry: VERY fruit forward, if you don't like fruit beer this won't be for you. However, I like fruit beer & found it enjoyable.

Starfish & Coffee: disappointment for me, super thin mouthfeel & a burnt coffee flavor. I get that it's under 6 percent so it's not going to be as thick as Bourbon County, but I like more heft in a stout.

Looking forward to the releases this week...
