Carton Brewing (November 2016)

School of Hops dropped

 

School of Hops
Imperial Black Ale
ABV:8% | IBU: 70| SRM: 42


The inspiration here is childish adults and mature children becoming wiser through the fundamental genius of a power chord. The motley crew of Carton Brewing, The Happy Hour Guys, the cast of School of Rock, and Sing For Hope all joined together to make a powerful, yet simple hedonistic beer that would resonate with the rock that Dewey loves. Aromas evoke shiny black leather, cheap berry lip gloss, and aerosol hairspray, all laying on the driving rhythm of an American Black Ale’s bass. Proceeds for this beer will support Sing for Hope. Drink School of Hops 'cause rock got no reason, rock got no rhyme.



It raises money for the kids, you have to buy it.

 

Augie dropped the god damn motherloade today.

 

Anyone tried School of Hops yet? I love how many varieties of cans are in stock and I'll drive up in a few weeks to restock. Unjunct was absolutely incredible. I wish I'd bought more.

What do you mean?

CANZZZ

 

There are plenty of cans available and that is great. Love it. But School of Hops is the only one that wasn't there last week.
Your post made it seem like there were several new cans. I had to go check and see if I missed something.

The tap list is great. Going to try and get there for some Red Rye.

 

I wish regular 077xx was there when I went on Saturday. Could use some fresh Odub right now. Well not right now, it's too early in the day.

 

Given the volume and variety of cans that have been available at the brewery the past few weeks, and apparently six week old warrior, I am surprised more hasn't made its way into distribution. Where I usually buy (Cranbury Buy Rite) hasn't had much lately. Will hopefully be able to make it down there Saturday.

 

I was in the taproom Saturday and couldn't decide between Warrior and Sorachi Ace so I went with Warrior. But I was kinda surprised when I got into the car afterwards and looked under the can and seeing it dated 9/29. Still tastes great though.

 

only certain cans are sell-able outside the brewery (approvals)
yesterday dub and SOH were canned some of that dub will hit stores. SOH is a charity thing the best way to make the most money for the charity is to sell it all at carton and the theater,. since we will donate all profits to the charity, and the stores won't. so that's how these go.
dubviant cans always go to their zip and the brewery
its always different, the only rule is when we can boat and dub, which we do most often, they always hit the stores

 

Thought there would be a reason and thanks for the response. Interesting and informative as always. Look forward to loading up this weekend.

 

no worries thanks for playing along

 

I would love for Odub Mosaic to be canned again soon

 

instead of epitome or regular coffee or whatever other silly thing i am working on?
if you like mosaic-dub you should probably try soh i'd love your opinion

 

Well not INSTEAD lol, I just mosaic. I would love to try soh.

 

k just making sure, it's good to know where prioritioes are. truth. is we can what we can can when we can can and i get bored fast so its gotta change a lot.... mosaic-dub is a fun one i promise we will get back to it at some point

 

No worries! Lol. Whenever I come down to Atlantic Highlands to see my mom I always make a point to stop at your brewery and grab whatever you guys have. You're one of the brewers I trust the most, keep doing what you're doing.

 

never!!!! one of my favorite brews....ever

 

I think we're all missing a very important piece of information from the SOH video: Was Augie the buyer who paid in the "low seven figures" for Aviato?

Or did that shirt just find him on a vision quest?

 

thank you very much that is an honor

thank you it's a fun one

NDA on who the buyer was
