    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

    Holiday

    Carton's taproom will be closed on Thursday, November 24th for Thanksgiving Day. Hours the rest of the Thanksgiving Week are WED 5-8PM, FRI 4-8PM, SAT 12-8PM, & SUN 12-5PM.

    Bummed we didn't see Disaster for the Sandy Anniversary this year. My favorite Carton beer. Hopefully the barrel is still going.

    Last night I got a chance to drink an Unjunct for the first time. Tremendous beer.
    I know Carton is more well known for their hoppy beers but they can brew the hell out a stout.
    I really hope they have some of this sitting in some kind of barrel.

    I enjoyed Unjunct as well. Just as the can says, nothing added. No coffee, vanilla, barrel aging, fruits etc. Just a really solid straight forward stout. But, you still get all the roasty flavors and aromas.

    That was what I was wondering as well due to similar label look

    Isn't Epitome also released around January as well? My memory isn't as great anymore.

    Stopped by Carton today, I grabbed some Odub Warrior. It was canned on 9/29. Can't believe they would still have some canned that long ago. But I'm not mad, Carton beers tend to last longer than other brewers.
