    To help find their beer, outside their brewery (they have their own tap room, where you can buy, drink, and fill growlers), use the following link:

    http://cartonbrewing.com/find-our-beer/

    More info from their website

    http://cartonbrewing.com/

    Tasting room availability is posted on Facebook on Wednesday and Saturday before the sessions begin.

    https://www.facebook.com/cartonbrewing/

    Special releases: When there are new cans we set up a table downstairs for efficiency, but outside of those first couple days they are upstairs in the tap room, which is staffed by really nice people.

    FAQ

    To enhance the Carton brewery experience, the following local food recommendations have been suggested.

    http://www.kunyasiam.com/ basicly across the street and BYO, very good thai that a growler of Dub rounds out nicely

    http://www.thecoppercanyon.com/ serious level southwestern versions of jersy restaurant food the place we make Carton Canyon for

    https://www.beermenus.com/places/19405-gaslight     owned by the copper canyon guys dependably aspirational pub grub good craft list

    http://www.ahwinebar.com/restaurant/ proper NJ bar with boat on tap

    http://www.christinesitaliandining.com/ small place proper restaurant Italian BYOB

    https://www.fairmountaincoffee.com/ certified organic coffee company

    these are just the one's on our street and just the highlights at that there are also 2 pizza places, 2 delis a good bagel shop and a proper diner

    there's also great Mexican place and a couple more pubs like chubby pickle in highlands. bahr's/mobys which we make wit whale for is classic shore seafood and 2 of the 4 places doing that right there

    Another place to go is TSTBBQ - Texas Style BBQ with a New Jersey attitude, in Leonardo, NJ.

    It's attached to a mini-golf place so lots of fun too.

    2 lights north on 36. take out or eat in.

    best bet is tell the tasting room servers what your'e in the mood for and how far you'r comfortable traveling and they will guide you well


    How to get to Carton (The BOAT STORY)

    The boat from the city:
    On weekdays the Atlantic Highlands stop on Seastreak ferry is 5 blocks straight down 1st Ave (.4 miles 8 minutes walk on Google maps)

    On weekends there is a shuttle waiting at the Connors Highlands stop on the ferry that will run you over to the Atlantic Highlands stop (if you are nice to the driver they very well may drop you at Carton as you pass)

    OR you can take the ferry to Connors Highlands, walk down Shore Drive to Kranky Cyclesand rent a bike (.3 miles-6minute walk on Google maps) and rent a bike. They have motorized and regular cruisers which can be peddled down the Henry Hudson bike path to Carton (2.9 miles 15 minute peddle according to Google maps) as well as out Sandy Hook for some beach time with stops at any of our local seafood shacks along the way.

    I was told thats the umbrella name for all the breweries that participated in the collaboration. More beers to come from that label.

    I’m tempted to but I don’t have time today (over an hour away). Any chance both of these survive the day?

    Enjoying a nitro Milk, fun to be able to drink a nitro Carton can. Hoping it'll let me appreciate the beer differently.

    As we have more space and can do more collaborative beers we will. This identity is to separate collaboration and let it be about workshopping and artistry rather than simply “brand extension” for Carton.

    So is Raise the same beer as Bet, which barrier released last week? I tried searching but failed to find the answer

    No. Im pretty sure all 4 beers released have the same hop profile but there are differences. Think Bet was a base. Raise has wheat I believe. ReRaise used oats. All In had wheat oats and lactose. Believe that Was how I read it

    To start, sorry for hijacking the thread. Question for you though. What can I expect to spend on a 6 or 4 pack of Carton? If that's too vague, would you consider their beer expensive? Going to Cape May this Summer and plan to pick up some Carton stuff for the trip as well as back home since it sounds so good. Thanks for the replies in advance.

    Does anyone know if SS Yirgacheffe will be seeing distro this time around, specifically in South Jersey?

    Just want to give a big shout-out to the crew handling the can sales on Saturday. I arrived a little before 1:00 and it couldn't have been any smoother. I was in-and-out within 10 minutes, everyone was super friendly, and I even got a hand carrying my beer to the car...they actually kinda of insisted on helping! Certainly not my first visit to Carton, but the trip seems to get easier ever time. I could not ask for anything else in regards to service and ease of experience...the new gold standard for me in terms of how to run can sales.

    On to the beer: picked up a year's supply of Cosmonaut. One of my favorite beers. Has everything I'm looking for in an imperial stout. Finally got my hands on some This Town. Way too drinkable...could not keep my glass full. Great game day beer. I'm looking forward to working my way through a couple six packs next weekend when March Madness starts up. Gotta admit, I don't normally seek out beers on nitro but Carton of Milk and Cupid both were tasting great. The transition from Carton of Milk to Cupid to Cosmonaut was fun. SS Yirgacheffe was an unexpected treat. I wasn't sure what to make of it at 40 degrees but (for my palate) it started to come together wonderfully as it warmed up a bit.

    Well done Carton!
