    Happy New Year! New monthly Carton thread.

    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.


    Post away and yes, Augie, @augiecarton, monitors this thread and will respond to your questions and comments.


    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

    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

    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

    I am looking for a (sports) bar in Atlantic Highlands or nearby where I can watch the (Patriots) football game today and have Carton on draft. Suggestions? (The only way I'll get to drop by Carton for a flight without missing part of the game is by watching the 1:00 game nearby. Thanks!

    Do they release more than one batch a year? I've been wanting to try these and haven't made it down to Carton yet.

    Always catching people off guard with their releases. Love it, other breweries could learn a lot from carton.

    Well I would say that so far Carton is killing it in 2017.

    Went there just for Boat to find it sold out. Line through the entire brewery for coffee cans. My guess is lasts Wednesday, but not past.

    Caretto is good. Reminder for those hoping this lasts til Wednesday that it looks like Carton is open tomorrow, if that matters.

    When I was there at 3 decent line for cans and taproom pretty damn full.

    Early release for coffee, but glad the release is here and gone and I don't have to worry about possible snow for its release anymore.

    But dammit, I had to wait in a LINE for the first time ever at Carton. Granted, I didn't get there until 3:30 PM, and the line moved quickly, and I was still in and out in ~5 minutes. NEVER GOING BACK AGAIN*.

    *Until next time I go back. Which will be very soon when Boat cans are available again.

    :wink:

    I'm sure they didn't, plenty to go around. Carton never sells out of anything day of, especially a silent release on a holiday
