Carton Brewing (June 2016)

Carton has canned so many beers in recent months that I feel spoiled .

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I wonder if they will ever release BDG in cans? One of my absolute favorites and one of the only beers I actually enjoy drinking while I eat. It's good for all occasions. Quite versatile.

 

I've been hoping for bdg cans for a long time now

 

I was really hoping for Red Rye cans before it went away for the season

 

Were probably getting closer to another can release. Probably Rub? Hoping for Ego or a Dubviant though.

 

Yes and yes
I want both in cans

 

I want to see Ego so bad... at least before I move out of state for my psychology internship

 

Guys. Rickey is sooooooo good.

 

Any opinions on Rickey? I thought it had a really nice tart fruit flavors but had a weird chalkiness (gypsum maybe?) that hit the roof of my mouth in an astringent way. FWIW I love high acid, and wines with lots of salty or chalky limestone flavors (muscadet, chablis) but this was very different from that.

I've had miserable allergies for a week though, so my palate could definitely be off.

 

betting the "roof of mouth" thing is the juniper

 

if it makes you feel any better i do as well

 

Could be, and I definitely considered that. Gin does not rank among my favorite beverages. Thanks for the input.

 

juniper isolated from all the other gin botanicals will do a very different thing, but alone it definable has a very tight mouth-feel so i am pretty sure that's what you are sensing

 

That's really interesting, I considered juniper as the taste, but it really had a noticeable mouthfeel as opposed to just a flavor. That's what made me think it was probably mineral. Can't say I've ever had straight juniper.

 

next time you are in a good spice shop grab one crack it with yuur thumb nail, smell and taste a tiny bit.

 

Yes it does make me feel better.
One day we will live in a world where cans of BDG, Red's, Boat and 077 will all be readily available year round.
And that my friends will be a better world.

 

I'd love the cans of BDG. Much easier taking those to a BYOB than the growler.

 

Is Carton open this Sunday? Facebook says Wednesday thru Friday, but nothing about the weekend.

 

Theyre open on Sundays. Those are just for whats available on those days. On Saturday theyll update with whats on for Sat and Sunday

 

They do updates Wed-Fri and then Sat-Sun (And Monday holidays). It's split in two.
