Carton Brewing (2020)

2 cases of his town is $80, case of this town plus 5 4s of boat and 1 of wedge issue is gonna be like 120 all in? feel like forgetting quarantine all together get a case of swisr and a case of wedge and splurge a bit it'll clean the brain right out, trust me i tested it Saturday

 

So swisher and wedge today eh? Plus some this town and boat. Hopefully I get my order in on time...if not I guess there is always next week. Thanks for always keeping prices reasonable in a beer world where prices just go up and up at a lot of places.

 

well 4/20 2020 swishr obvi (passion fruit this year) been drinking off brite all weekend and its amaze, if you like swishrs; if not it's a dank smoke bomb mess stay away wedge (galaxy nelson) larry, more boat, more dub, more hook, everything else over the week

 

Hours at the brewery and 15-20-25% case discounts for pick-up stay the same? Will take another drive over today or tomorrow...

 

all the same for the duration of the lock down.
and just a reminder for all involved' the best way to get beer, if you can, is from one of the local stores. especially those stepping up in these weird times and really developing their "NJ local" offerings. but if you want day of, come to us. Or if you don't have a local with the specific ones you want or are under the strictest of quarantines and need it to come to you, reach out to us.

 

Can anyone who’s been to the brewery to pick up cans lately detail the procedure and setup?

Thanks in advance.

 

How long ago is "lately"? I bought two cases on April 2, so before masks were required by all but everything else "lockdown-related" was in place (IIRC?). Walked in, no other customers, two employees talking to one another. One left as I entered. I asked for a case of Boat ($66) and a case of This Town ($40), paid by credit card, receipt send to my email. Total price $86.80 after discounts applied. Carton worker carried one case while I carried the other to my truck parked directly across the street.

 

That price is insane

 

it REALLY is. Like even compared to "mass produced and sold at every bar in america" craft beer pricing - it's a great deal . I mean if we look at volume equivalent 4x 12pks of blue moon and a 6 pk of fat tire (which is still about 24oz less) will run $80.95 at my local bottleking before taxes.

So props to Carton for pushing those beers out at such a good price.

 

we always try to keep the "drinking beers" (boat dub, hook town milk and bdg) fairly priced for people of the garden state to live with rather than cherish; as they are "living with" beers. at the moment people are feeling some financial pain and should be leaving their homes the least amount possible so for now our hope is these additional discounts facilitate that. leave less, save some cash, see ya in a couple weeks. hopefully life and prices all get back to normal sometime soon

 

Such an awesome deal.

I was gonna order online but my delivery date is tomorrow and I didn't see Wedge Issue on there. I think I'm gonna wait for Wedge to drop and make the drive up. It's been too long, anyway. Also definitely stocking up on lots of This Town and Carton Canyon (which I'm really happy is being canned, I've always wanted to try it but never made it to the restaurant)

Keep up the fantastic work!

 

Absolutely loved this one. I crushed a 4 pack on satuday.

Gonna have to drive down to pick up Wedge Issue. Love both hops.

 

opened my crisper today and saw i did a bit more damage to my beer supply over the weekend than I had assumed. so just ordered 2 cases for delivery tomorrow.

4x Boat, 4x Hook, 3x wedge issue, and 1 o-dub. Really excited to finally get a chance to try wedge issue. I also haven't had hook in sooo long.

 

is all together still available at the brewery?

 

no, I think its been gone since last weekend.

 

ok thought so, didnt see it on their webiste

 

Getting a delivery of 50 Carton beers today really made up for a long ass shift.

 

this Wedge Issue is really good.

4/20 canned boat is on fire. and Hook is just as good as I remembered it. Very glad that Carton got up to Union county; really missed them.

 

both Wedge Issues so far have been great. hoping as they go on with a few more variants so one day - one day long into the future, when life is semi-normal and we're having flights in the new room - they put them all on tap to compare lke they do with the 0-dubs

 

Went to Carton yesterday and picked up Wedge Issue x 2 and Swishr x 1

Wedge issue is great, although I wish the body was thicccer. Then again, I feel as it warms up it becomes better. However, overall its a great beer. It doesn't deviate into one hop or the other. It's too easy to drink at %8.2 abv and thus, becomes dangerous


Swishr with passion fruit:
Holy fucking shit!!111
This beer is gonna leave a mark in my memory. It's so unique, smells unique and tastes unique albeit great. I cannot get enough of it. I have to pick up more.
Smell is ashy / sweet / fruity ..its kinda hard to pin the smell down.
As soon as you take a swig, you get hit with variety of aromas, yet they somehow all fall in place. You get faintly sweet malt, you get smokiness, you get fruitiness (but nothing sweet or bitter) , you get the balanced bitterness of the hops...I'm looking at it as I write and I'm just fucking loving it.
