    Saw the post as well... Was that on purpose to not say if it is in cans? Maybe it will be a separate post. The FB post had several questions asking about cans right after it went up.

    I dont know. I feel like they are always straight forward when they release cans.

    Maybe @augiecarton can chime in.

    I think I recall with Regular Coffee that the cans were only announced through people posting pictures of their hauls. So maybe that could happen again. I don't know, just being a pain and speculating haha.

    no, Reg Coffee had a can label approval done a few months earlier, so it made sense. was just people connecting dots. Monkey Chased was announced as cans.

    I wouldn't guarantee that this will be cans. Most other Carton "special releases" were growlers or draft (i.e. Rickey)

    My bad on the context, meant when cans were released. I remember the can label approval and we all lost our minds haha.

    ***Also totally forgot that they stated cans for MCTW ahead of time. ***

    I hope it IS cans, and maybe someone can get me some.

    Alas, I'm going to see Jaws on the big screen with my dad (pretty cool, actually)

    Jaws back on the big screen >>>>>>>Cactus Sours. I think my math is right there haha. I'm in the same boat, I'm taking my dad to our annual phillies' game.

    I think you're gonna need a bigger boat.

    But I'm not thinking cans on this since none of the trusty TTB internet sleuths turned up a label approval. Could be wrong and it's flying below radar, though.

    As far as my studious Carton watching goes, each release they get more and more vague. When I asked Augie about hand stamps at the Kentucky release he said people were doubling up at the coffee release. Either way he makes it pretty clear he hates lines and tries to avoid them. I don't think we hear either way from Carton till after there is or isn't a line that day. Right @augiecarton ? :grimacing:

    Might just have to wait until Sunday morning and see what they post on Facebook for the draft and cans list.

    Saw no label approval etc so seems cans aren't likely. If they didn't brew a ton I think it's better that way. Try it at your local bar that gets carton. As nice as cans are you know it'll end up all over the FT boards and cause more mob like behavior

    If they werent releasing this in cans wouldnt it be just easier to say no to the tons of questions about it on facebook now instead of just saying about waiting until seeing whats available is posted on Saturday??
