Carton Brewing (2020)

I can't find info on this.
(I've lived in at least 5 towns in NJ, in both Middlesex and Monmouth counties and have always had an 08___ zip code, even when it was within 20-30 miles from Atlantic Highlands .)

 

It's on their Facebook post from yesterday

 

I stopped by Roger Wilco - Pennsauken today for the first time in a few weeks since it's on my way home from the office (I had to go in to take care of a few things) and the parking lot looked pretty reasonable. For those of you like me who are brave fucking stupid enough to risk venturing outside, they do have a case of Take That Ride and a few cases of HopPun. Needless to say I grabbed some (along with some Lawson's Sugarhouse and a few new ETNYC beers)

Take This Ride is superb, by the way. Best new Jersey-made IPA I've had all year, probably.

 

Looks like Carton is one of the first NJ breweries to put out the Other Half "All Together Now" worldwide collab project. Sounds pretty good, a no frills, 7% NE IPA. Hope to get my hands on some if it hits retail, as well as any locals to me who put one out..

 

I read somewhere it was brewery only, no distro.

 

Had today. Very good. Not exceptional. Carton excels in other styles.

 

i'm really surprised with how quick Carton got this out, not even 2 weeks from the March 26th announcement from OH.

But likely that carton had some notice of it prior to instagram. Would love to try this, but definitely not getting down to Carton any time soon

 

Augie said something on FB, about OH emailing a core group of their friends before it went public to get them on board which is why they got it out quicker b/c they had started brewing it already.

 

I haven't had this yet but I'm planning on getting some. However after having Wedge Issue I was left wishing Carton did these styles more often so have high hopes for this. Wedge Issue is the best beer I've had this year.

 

Just saw Carton is delivering to most of the state starting this week. Awesome news for peeps that don’t want to go to the brewery or a liquor store. Will be utilizing this service along with Kane delivery.

 

Best news can’t wait to order some boat!!

 

Will definitely be adding Carton to my delivery schedule!

 

i'm fairly stocked up right now... but like a case of boat and a mixed case delivered to my door sounds pretty appealing right now.

 

My liver is already begging for mercy. This isn't going to help anything

 

especially with the two case minimum haha.

 

The two case minimum is the only thing giving me pause.

 

Yeah, I was gonna say that’s like a, what, $144 dollar “minimum” or so (if you were to buy all Boat, which I think is their cheapest beer @ around $11-12 a four pack, IIRC)?

 

A case of This Town (4 X 6pks) is $40. Boat is $66 (6 X 4pks).

 

Buying two cases of strictly Boat or This Town would both be cheap (in the local craft beer pricing world) for sure, but I do like to mix it up.

 

Ah okay, that’s not bad then. I wouldn’t mind having a case of This Town and a mixed case to meet the min. Wouldn’t mind one bit.
