Carton Brewing (June 2017)

Cheers, yeah that is exactly where Hoppun fits into my life, I just wasn't sure what a March batch would taste like at this point. I kind of wish I'd held on to a can to do a side-by-side. It'll be going into my vacation cooler.

 

an experiment for next march i guess

 

Anyone have a guess as that fifth beer to be brewed at Two roads? Unjunct, IDIPA, HopPun, Beach, ?

Or did I just miss one we already got/knew about?

 

Red Rye

 

this ^^^ idipa 1ce a quarter then red rye sandwiching it in fall, unjunct in winter, hoppun in spring and beach in summer. if it works there will always be thirst appropriate beers in the fridge in your town/house. as always let me know

 

According to BeerMenus Boat cans are back at the brewery! I only have one left from the last batch and that's only because it's a sad day when I have no Boat left.

 

God I cant wait for Red Rye cans. Been dying for that and Milk as canned options

 

I've dreamed of milk cans for years now. Maybe someday and yes rye is such a great beer, can't wait for it in cans locally.

 

hopefully that is one of the things the new space will solve. our current brewery can't fit the canning line and the nitro dose-r. it's not that we haven't wanted to do it, it's we can't... yet

 

Fresh Boat cans at the Brewery today.
Perfect for the first day of summer

 

I can't wait for Red Rye cans

 

10 different cans of Carton beer at the brewery. What a time to be alive.

 

Anybody still have some of their Regular Coffee stash left?

I have a 4pk of Regular and a few cans of both Corretto and Churro in the fridge. Curious to see how Corretto has changed. No worries with Churro, I aged one from last year for about 10 months and it held up very well.

My preference for Regular is to drink it fresh. When the coffee fades and the beer sweetens up it's still enjoyable just not as incredible in my opinion. The last few years I told myself I wouldn't sit on any to age, but this will end up being the third Fourth of July in a row where I'll be drinking a can of Regular Toffee in the sweltering patriotic heat. Kind of a tradition at this point.

 

Actually just had my last Corretto and third-to-last Churro last night! Both holding up very well. As you said, Churro aged nicely, with coffee a bit more subtle, but still well balanced with other adjuncts + base. If anything, I found it to be a bit more vanilla-forward than I remembered. I initially thought the adjuncts on the Corretto had fallen considerably, but as the beer warmed, the fennel and licorice came to the forefront, and it tasted pretty close to what I recalled tasting back in January.

TL;DR Both are tasting great to me, very similar to what they were fresh (albeit far less weather-appropriate).

 

Apparently Mahwah liquors is a new Carton account They had cans of Beach and HopPun.

 

Same around my house but it's only the two roads stuff. No boat or o dub.

 

Redrum

 

Cans of Beach showed up in NYC yesterday so that confirms it was brewed at Two Roads right?

 

So does the label.
