Carton Brewing (2020)

Ahem...



Thank you for the kind words. IDIPA is in there, between Digger and Larry in the first photo. But you're probably right, I do think Cupid was non-nitro on its first run. Great, there's another hole in the collection.

 

There it is! That was a damn tasty soda

The “overhopped” cans I was talking about earlier were a brief run of HopPun and IDIPA last year that had “overhopped” slapped on there. Augie said they were playing with the hopping rates (also using a hop charge or something of the sort?) and future batches will just be re-named as the regular version. I haven’t seen any “overhopped”cans in a long time so I think they’re probably done with that moniker for now. Don’t worry though, your collection is still the best in the land.


pics for reference:

 

Ah, I see now. Well regardless, I'm glad I'm not the only one with such an obsessive eye for detail.

 

Hahaha, the funny part is i have ADD/ADHD (literally diagnosed with both as a kid) but when it comes to shit that I’m actually interested in, like Carton, I have a weird obsessive hyperfocus that kicks in. If only that hyperfocus kicked in about things that actually make a big difference in the world. Oh well....

Anyway, now I feel like an obnoxious prick for even mentioning the Overhopped thing lol. My bad

 

I saw that collection and my first thought was, damn that’s impressive collection. My second thought was, damn, I’ve had most of those. My third thought was, damn I drink a lot of beer.

 

according to my untappd, I've only had 112 of 199 Carton beers, and I'm bummed about it

 

Trust me, it’s gathering dust somewhere with the Scobeyville Wood growler.

 

Peach Swisher was also a waxed growler. Still have one in my basement....

Also, I didn’t see “When They Said Sit Down, We Stood Up”. Might be missing that in the pic though.

Awesome collection!

 

Got it...thanks for the heads up!

 

anyone ever find Frusta out in the wild?

 

Nope. Checked BeerMenus and in person at local stores. Niente.

 

Same here. Looks we we missed out

 

I bet it’ll come out again. I feel like in the latest steal this beer I heard the words “it may have been my favorite beer we ever brewed.” Or one of them or something along those lines. I hope that means it will come back and soon. Sold out super quick.

 

He did say he drank a lot of it on an IG video.

 

Said it should see it’s way around NJ I think I heard in the video...



@BeastOfTheNortheast maybe distro by the time of your trip down the shore

 

Did I hear him say this would be a regular canned offering going forward? Maybe that's just me hearing what I wanted to hear.

 

yes he definitely said it will be made regularly and intended to be a "shelf beer" available around NJ as opposed to just local like This Town. But my read was there was not a lot of this particular batch which I assume is brewery only or limited distro (purely a guess on this part).

I was ready to take a trip down as I wanted some Beach as well, but then saw that appears to have sold out.. bummer.
