Carton Brewing (September/October 2018)

@augiecarton I hope I get to see this Mosaic 0-dub anywhere near the Caldwell's or Garys in Wayne. Will it make it that far up ?

 

07871 is sparta nj isn't that "far up?"

 

we talking west jersey or north jersey?

 

Carton is the featured brewery at Project P.U.B. in Somerville for October.

 

NEED Basic Coffee. Looks amazing.

 

The best part is it’s not 12%, I bet sadly for a lot of us it’s gone pretty quickly. I know I won’t be able to make the trek north anytime soon.

 

I'm hoping basic coffee is a huge batch and will last for a month... Haha I know I'm funny

 

I'd be surprised if this didn't hit distribution considering Regular Coffee makes it around pretty well and lately the only beers I haven't seen hit distro in South Jersey is This Town, the Dubviants and the Brewer's Board series (all of which are understandable).

I made the hour and 20 minute ride up to the brewery today for some Basic Coffee. Really great beer, reminds me a lot of a pumpkin spice coffee you'd get from Wawa. Can't wait to rake some leaves with one of these on the side.

 

damn. Just paid $8.99 for fresh BOAT at bottle king (9/21 or 9/27 can't recall).

glad I took an extra 5 minute drive there, my local liquor store was selling boat at $13 or $14

 

That’s a pretty bad mark up on that stores end. One of ours down here (SJ) had boat and 077 just sitting out warm on the shelves. Granted most carton stuff was cold but several four packs of each were out.

 

Yeah, this place marks up quite a bit - and it's one of the cheaper in the area.

The perks of living in New Providence

 

Awesome to see Ship Wreck in 500mL bottles this year.

 

W

What shop?

 

Cooks liquors, could’ve been a customer left em out but who knows cause there was a couple out warm no just one. I just know you guys like knowing these things so figured I’d drop a line on here.

 

@augiecarton what’s O.W.C?

 

Original Wooden Carton

 

LOVE the smaller format!

 

I guess my question is more along the lines of what will @augiecarton and co set out to do with this new (is it new?) OWC barrel program. Looks like they got a bottling line (sweet bottles by the way), wondering what else we might see emptied from those barrels they got in the cellar. I know I’m not going to get any real specifics, but a taste of what’s in store might be nice. Saisons and other wax-growler stuff will be in bottles now? Maybe some Brett beers? Mixed ferment? Augie I know you gotta have some wine barrels down there

 

Just tried Basic Coffee. I could go on about the mouthfeel. I could ramble about the spice mix. Or I could just sum up:
It is beyond reproach.

 

oddly the Ship Wreck relase billed it as "the next release from O.W.C."... was there already something else put out under the new label from the "dirty" side of the brewery?

Really looking forward to what kid of interesting stuff comes from OWC when they start dipping into the various aged barrels, and mixed fermentation type things...
