Carton Brewing (October 2016)

Still $20 same as last year? I'll probably grab a couple, really love that beer.

 

The porter tends to last a bit, doesn't it?

 

I'm the past it has, I feel like it's lasted months before. I think mostly because of format and price. I'll be swinging up on Wednesday for one or two.

 

It was definitely around for awhile last year. I'll be stopping in Saturday for it. Need something to dull the pain of two little kid birthday parties in one day.

 

Anyone seen any distro around South Jersey recently? I feel like it's been a while. Thanks in advance.

 

Mens Journal list of the 10 best craft beers in the world. Boat is on the list

 

How is an NJ only (more or less) beer in with a list of beers that are mostly distributed across the country? Great for Boat but that's a strange group

 

Because it is that good.

 

In all fairness, 4 of the beers, Melvin, Fat Heads, Live Oak and Boat have a very limited distribution.

 

Which makes the list all the more puzzling

 

I like this list because I've actually been able to drink these beers. Live Oak is the only one I haven't had a chance to try.

 

Boat is the #1 best beer in the country. Been my favorite since my first sip! Hopefully we get some celebration cans this week.


PS congrats Carton team!

 

Yea of all the beers I've been lucky enough to enjoy, Boat is hands down my favorite session and is extremely drinkable and the perfect summer beer that is also good year round

 

Agreed.
Now please @augiecarton Get some more in Cans.

 

we can what we can when we can can. it'll show up again, promise

 

I just have to say that I've noticed that Carton beers hold up very well. I had my last can of Odub Motueka last night and at 2 months, it still tasted fantastic. I say this because (I won't mention breweries) but I always try to drink IPAs within a month and that isn't necessarily the case when it comes to Carton stuff. I don't know what's going on over at Carton, but I have to praise @augiecarton for putting out consistent and very high quality beers.

 

So true. If you listen to Augie's podcast he seems to really pride himself on the fact that you don't have to drink Carton beers right from the brite tank.

 

Agree. I recently had my last 07750 and it was still delicious.

 

I'm still enjoying the motueka variant and still have about a half case left.

 

Agree with all the agreeing. I've had their hoppy stuff at even 2-3 months and it's still amazing. It's odd because it's double dry hopped so you'd expect a fall off but it's very subtle if at all noticeable.
