Carton Brewing (July/August 2018)

no canning line yet, it's on the list

 

I just punched it into Waze, Carton is 80 miles north from me. 1hr 24min drive right now (5PM on a Saturday). Winter time it’s probably closer to an hour and 10 mins.

That’s great, thanks for clarifying. You guys put out a ton of cans as it is and for a good
price, so I just presumed you had one. Can’t wait to see what the future holds!

 

That southwest corner of the state, the part I refer to as Pennsylvania, is really far away

 

Yeah, the funny part is the “true” southwestern corner of the state isn’t even close me either (~1hr). I took a day cruise through Salem, Cumberland counties and the bay shore area recently, I was impressed at how quiet and rural it was. I’m kind of a newcomer to NJ so I really underestimated how diverse of a State it is for such a relatively small area (mountains far north, pine barrens, farmland, barrier islands, spotted urban wasteland in between)

.....and there’s your useless comment of the day, everyone

 

Stopped at Carton on the way home. Just cracked open an 07750. One of my favorite dubviants.

 

It could just be me and the fact that I haven't had beach in a year but...I think there is a noticeable difference between last years (two roads) and this years which was brewed in NJ. Am I crazy or does anyone else feel the same way? Huge flavors packed into low abv beers are the best.

 

I completely agree that this years is better.

 

+1

 

It's a way different and better beer this year.

 

I agree with you 100%. I got more dank qualities and a more crisp, dry finish than last year. It had some of the qualities that I love in Boat. It was more flavorful. (I’m not implying they’re the same beer. Just drawing a comparison to make my point.)

 

Yes. That’s what I kept thinking too it was very boat like to me and I didn’t remember that happening last year.

 

the jersey ones this year have a bigger dry hopping charge (almost double ) so that would explain that, makes it a little more punchy but i think cuts a session from a dozen to maybe 8 or so before fatigue sets in. but i am glad y'all are groovin on it

 

So I suppose you could put DDH Beach on the can.

 

thing about math is its kind of absolute and no factor has been multiplied by 2. so i know i could, and it would probably help sales, but hurt conversation and be inaccurate, so no, but we did write something on the can that says which ones have more hops.

 

Totally grooving on it!

 

I’ve heard your thoughts on the double dry hop claim before. That’s why the wink .

 

Augie, if you are reading this; please make regular coffee available as This town.

 

And with a new Batch recently canned, it is one of the rare Summer beers actually brewed and canned in the Summer. Augie is always the innovator.
