    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.

    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.

    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

    https://www.fairmountaincoffee.com/ certified organic coffee company

    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

    Another place to go is TSTBBQ - Texas Style BBQ with a New Jersey attitude, in Leonardo, NJ.

    It's attached to a mini-golf place so lots of fun too.

    2 lights north on 36. take out or eat in.

    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


    How to get to Carton (The BOAT STORY)

    The boat from the city:
    On weekdays the Atlantic Highlands stop on Seastreak ferry is 5 blocks straight down 1st Ave (.4 miles 8 minutes walk on Google maps)

    On weekends there is a shuttle waiting at the Connors Highlands stop on the ferry that will run you over to the Atlantic Highlands stop (if you are nice to the driver they very well may drop you at Carton as you pass)

    OR you can take the ferry to Connors Highlands, walk down Shore Drive to Kranky Cyclesand rent a bike (.3 miles-6minute walk on Google maps) and rent a bike. They have motorized and regular cruisers which can be peddled down the Henry Hudson bike path to Carton (2.9 miles 15 minute peddle according to Google maps) as well as out Sandy Hook for some beach time with stops at any of our local seafood shacks along the way.

    Any chance an Oktoberfest was brewed this year with the new space opening up more room?

    not yet, the new tanks are mostly about more dub and boat letting the old tanks pick up things like brewer's board and this town. more tanks will come and i guess it is possible a brewer will choose to do one for their board but there is nothing currently in the tanks that is an octoberfest, or even a carton-ification of one. did you get squashenator when we did it? there was talk of it coming back this year, but we went another way

    anyone try Brett 1 yet? Also like the sound of stay down, but expect that to hit retail...

    Brett 1 is awesome too. I would put it second to Chris 1 as my favorite brewers board.

    At first I was disappointed reading that there is no pumpkin, but after thinking a little more about your response, I am anxious to see what the future holds....

    Wonder if that means heavily adjuncted candied up stout is coming. Just my guess based on that comment above. Based off previous posts I know it can’t be a simple marzen either so that’s my guess.

    Keeping it much more "basic"? Must be a DDH PSL IPA

    Forgot about that being mentioned so many times. I bet you’re right.
