    This will definitely be a purchase. I love whip. Never got frusta , so let's give this a whirl

    Pizzeria una napolitno near carton still has frusta if you head to the highlands.

    Which is odd cause I've seen whip lots of places. Not sure what the difference is

    I got Frusta at a store, so maybe it will get out in a limited capacity.

    If I recall when they introduced Whip, Augie mentioned they eventually intended that to be their shelf lager for wider distro, as a counterpart to This Town that was only available locally around the brewery and environs..

    Can’t remember if I got Frusta at the store or at the brewery but this new one and a few other new releases might get me down there this weekend.

    Got the Peitsche and Floresinator (sounds like a beer Dr. Doofenshmirtz would create - BAs with kids should get that reference) at Wegmans today. Psyched to try both.

    Does anyone know if MIA-EWR went to distribution? And if so, where I might find it in North or Central NJ? Thanks.

    I thought that EWR-MIA was the one canned in Dec?

    Either way, I saw both of them in the Ocean Wegman's 2 days ago.

    I’ve seen them around stores in Somerset county.

    OK, sorry. I don't really follow flavored beers, I just happened to picked up a 4-pk of Boat and noticed the other one with the airport initials - which ever it was - and remembered the post. Didn't realize there were two of 'em.

    Thanks everyone. I'll look a bit deeper as all my usual places don't have it. One had quite a bit of EWR-MIA and I got excited until I looked a bit closer.

    I know for sure Wegmans in Bridgewater had it.

    I tried Wegmans in Woodbridge last night...no dice. The tag for EWR-MIA was still up but no product. No evidence of MIA-EWR whatsoever. Carton selection overall was very thin.

    I may just have to go straight to the source.

    That’s always a good idea. But if you’re close to Bridgewater, that Wegmans has a huge supply of local craft beer and gets a lot of different Carton cans, along with Kane, Tonewood, Icarus, Brix City, CZig Meister, Other NJ brands, Equilibrium (too expensive), and even Other Half.

    Grabbed a 4pack of Carton's PEITSCHE at Bridgewater Wegmans on Thursday. Damn is Carton on point with the Lager/Pilsner game. This beer tastes like a slightly hoppier version of WHIP, which will be my summer go-to Pilsner.

    Agreed about Carton lagers. This Town, Whip, and Frusta have all been amazing.
