Carton Brewing (2020)

march date? this is the first note i have had and by now i would have. i'll get out the logs and follow up for sure, thanks

 

My oh my, frusta! I love the thought that carton shares on the new beers. I hope I can snag a few four packs somewhere soon...

 

Love to try that one. I might have to make the drive.

 

I want to do delivery but the two case minimum kills me. I did it a few weeks ago cause the fridge was empty. Hard justifying a two case order when I have 3 four packs in the fridge at the moment. Enjoy, if you go. Heck if it lasts the weekend maybe I’ll do another order.

 

Frusta does look like a nice one to have around for the summer... I'd ask about distro, but even when there is some, it (understandably) doesn't seem to be as widespread as it used to be... I have only seen the core beers and Beach locally...

 

that's definitely weird, we are sending a lot more beer out to a lot more stores these days with the restaurants shut down. check that your place is ordering and getting it and when. i can't think of recent beer that has been at home only (outside OWC stuff)

 

Thanks, good to know - guess my local shops have not been ordering the full spectrum... I assumed with so many breweries doing curbside and home delivery that there is less to go around to retail - hadn't considered loss of bar/restaurants volume.

 

Different stores near me (Middlesex) have completely different selections, for example one place had zero Monkey, and the other had plenty just yesterday. Call around

 

I got my Carton delivery yesterday and just tried Frusta. It is fantastic. I wish I got more than 1 4-pack.

 

Anyone know what day of the week Wilco gets their carton shipment? Paging @tzieser

 

Hah. They deliver every Tuesday afternoon (which has been the same day as Burlington County area deliveries last I checked). Sometimes they skip a week if there’s nothing new released.

Save some pilsner for me if they bring some

(also I think my schlekerla märzen request arrived but I’ve been away all week...)

 

anyone seen Frusta in the Morris/Union country area?

 

I haven’t seen it in Somerset county yet, so probably hasn’t made it up this way.

 

Maybe tomorrow, since home deliveries are Morris tomorrow I believe.. but that assumes any makes it. I did/do see We'll Walk in the Sun, but never did see any Whaler locally.

 

For me it was the opposite.

 

I’m mildly obsessive-compulsive and I love Carton, so this post was probably inevitable. What follows is what I think is every Carton release to date (excluding the On the Road beers, which I don’t have access to, and, most annoying of all, All Orange Everything). Not bad for someone who lives 1.5 hours from the brewery proper. Hope this proves useful in some way apart from the self-aggrandizement it clearly is.

 

Beautiful

 

awesome collection. i keep all the coffee cans but i lost my Mexican one so the collection feels pointless now.

and if Augie comes through, BRING BACK S.S. CREAM!!!

 

FYI, no Frusta @ Roger Wilco as of Wednesday afternoon

 

Wow, what an excellent job. I keep looking through each can in the pics thinking “...but did he forget _____ ?” and sure enough I eventually found it every time.

It doesn’t count because it’s not beer, but I don’t see School of Pop in there

EDIT: another cheap shot here, I don’t see the “overhopped” HopPun, IDIPA. Also wasn’t Cupid non-nitro (co2) for the first canning run? I can’t remember. Regardless of all that, I think it’s very safe to say you have the best collection of Carton cans outside of the brewery itself
