The editorial take
Corridor Brewery & Provisions is a brewpub where house-brewed beers anchor the program, from a German-style Helles to a hazy IPA, all available in a six-beer flight. The cocktail list rotates with creative names and local spirits, and a dedicated zero proof menu covers mocktails and non-alcoholic brews. Wine is compact but regional. The beer-tails, like the bourbon-and-IPA Good Times Bad Times, highlight the crossover appeal.
- What should I order?
- Start with the six-beer flight to sample the range, then a pint of Wizard Fight or Victim of Fashion. The Good Times Bad Times beer-tail is a must for its bourbon-IPA hybrid. For a zero proof option, the Zero Proof Paloma is a refreshing choice.
