Carton Brewing (May 2017)

I will also call out Kolsch's while we're talking non-trendy craft styles that I love. Even the 'fake' ones, like OHs are good. I have the last growler of Disclaimer from Troon on Earth and I don't want to drink it because then I won't have it anymore.

 

Industrial Arts in Haverstraw does a pretty decent pilsner called Metric.

If you can make the trip up to Suarez Family, they have several great pilsners on tap and the Hudson Valley is beautiful this time of year.

 

But that kinda makes my point... a lot of those are outside of New Jersey. I'll have those that you mentioned, but sometimes I just want... well, more like WISH that New Jersey were a little more active in that lager/pils arena. That's why now I'd jump at the chance for Canyon or Ron's (again) in cans.

I think a lot of my bitterness stems from the fact that I can't get Jack's Abby in New Jersey either.

 

can't agree enough.

Would love to see Canyon make it to cans. Great bbq beer in my opinion as to me i can't do too much ipa during the hot summer months.

 

I hope to see Sit Down Son soon too. I guess I was just thinking locally, not just NJ. I do get Jacks Abbey when I'm up in NY. Good stuff. Seems like Von Trapp makes lagers which we now get here.

 

Pretty sure @augiecarton has mentioned they make a lager that he intends to have on regularly once they have the tank space (new building). Think he even mentioned its name on Steal This Beer. Never seen it in the tap room though, very curious.

 

This Town?

 

I thought that was just a one-off goof in response to Stillwater branding their session lager Yacht - I wouldn't have expected it again, but I wouldn't be disappointed if they did, as I liked it as well...

 

That does sound familiar.

 

I enjoyed Sit Down Son. Hope they brew and can an affordable lager. Carton Canyon is good but a bit expensive for a growler fill when they do have it available.

 

SS Cream was so good. Would like to see that one come back.

 

That's definitely it. Any updates on the new building? I haven't been down there in a couple of months.

 

Let's just say the Carton brewer's tap is almost certainly tapped with some pils or helles. As a brewer who knows how hard it is to make a great lager, other brewers most definitely appreciate them by drinking them.

 

Hey @Bdalik ... I'm not a brewer (yet) and I appreciate it! A lot!

 

you brew?

 

@augiecarton yes! I am one of 2 brewers over at Conclave. had the pleasure of hanging out with a couple of your guys (Dennis and Brendan) a few days ago. Great guys.

 

very cool, nice to meet you. next time you're in have them pour you some this town its what's on that tap, and some day we will leave enough behind for it to get to the TR or maybe even a can

 

Much appreciated Augie, thank you. I'm headed down for my Boat fix tonight actually and will pop my head in the brewery to see if those guys are working.

 

oh nice you'll find something fun either way, have a good time

 

i checked so you wouldn't get treated as weird, and sadly denniis is off at 4 and the last this town is gone and the next is lagering... next time i guess, but please have fun any way
