My New Jersey BA friends...

You'll only find growlers, no Kane packaged distro and the last Carton stuff that was distro'd is likely finishing up and getting tougher to find (SS Cream).

 

Check out Freebridge Wine & Spirits. It's not far off 78 at the PA state line across from Easton, PA. Carton cans are a maybe, but check out their Beermenus for updated tap list for growler fills

 

Beermenus is a good bet. North Plainfield Buy Rite has Head High or Overhead as a house tap for fills, and often has a Carton seasonal as well. Canals in Woodbridge may or may not be on your way but also is good for K+C fills regularly, at least 1 tap each.

 

I saw SS Cream all over NYC also but I think that was because of the Barrier Collab it was so widely available.
Off 78, your best bets for Carton Can retail are Gary's in Madison and (as mentioned) Super Buy Rite in N. Plainfield.
As @kthoag also mentioned, Canals almost always has both on tap at growler station and currently has both Boat & Head High. Good Luck!!!

 

Canal's gets everything. One of the best (if not the best) overall selections in the state.

 

Yup I've heard great things about that place. And yes, Canals has tons of bottles and cans.

 

When it hits distro they get it but that is usually once a month and it doesn't last long so best to call before heading there if that is what you are looking for. They get Boat and 077 and had Ron's Steambock Haircut as of a few days ago.

 

Freebridge's beermenus page is fairly accurate. And they do a thing on Thursdays with cheap growler fills with a pour to move out older draughts, so what's on is usually pretty fresh. And, if you're hitting on the way back, get off in PA at the Easton exit, follow into downtown and go across the Free Bridge and it's right there on the left. Then you can continue on from there, hit 22 and reconnect with 78 in NJ.

 

Yes Wardell Pub is Freebridge...BUT only go off the draft list. I think their bottle/can updates are never touched, however they sometimes post new bottles/cans on their Facebook page

 

If you find Shape of Hops to Come, that's from last year. I don't think it's been released yet from Neshaminy.

If you have doubts about the Carton availability at Freebridge, I'd call.

 

I'd be shocked if Epitome or IDIPA are available anywhere. Only Carton cans out there in distro right now are probably the Steambock Haircut (maybe SDS), unless there was a Boat/077XX drop in the last few days. I think you will find growler fills are probably your only Kane/Carton option right now at most places.

 

When Carton cans are distributed, they Always get some. But they go fast.
