    The ss yigracheffe was fantastic. I'm probably consumed two cups of coffee in my life and I loved the beer. Have a few cans left to enjoy. Hell of a job with that one Augie. Bring IDIPA back also. :wink:

    Carton is one of my favorite breweries, just wish it were closer and they distributed a little more down here. Boat is an extremely versatile beer for many different occasions in my opinion. Shipwreck Porter absolutely blew my mind with its complexity and 077XX is very crushable despite its incredible flavors and high ABV. Just wanted to show some love, keep doing your thing! Looking forward to finally trying Regular Coffee if I get the chance

    Id was absolutely phenomenal, it would be a crime if I never tasted that beer again. Excited to see what becomes of Ego and Supergo (also a great podcast)

    I'd just like to chime in and say how much I love regular coffee too and it is my favorite beer of Carton's as well. I've never been able to get enough to sit on one though for a year...I might have to try that! Sounds tasty.

    just put your zip in http://cartonbrewing.com/find-our-beer/ and of course if there are any places that should get it that aren't let us know where they are, we are stretched thin but we always manage to find some for a cool bar/restaurant

    Just to chime in on a few topics here, what I like so much about Boat is you can enjoy it equally in a pint glass and get one sense of it that way or you can crack it open and drink straight from the can and the experience changes. I know this can be said about other beers as well so in that sense it's not unique, but the flavors to me are equally enjoyable either way delivered for the intended purposes, which is to enjoy several over the course of a long afternoon or evening and still generally behave in a socially acceptable way. Lately I've preferred drinking right from the can because I get more citrus/grapefruit and I'm on a major kick of wanting that from hoppy beers lately.

    I enjoyed SDS and thought it was a curious time to release it as the weather was changing and getting colder. To me it would be a perfect beer after mowing the lawn or working in the yard on a hot day. I didn't even think about it as a tailgate beer but that makes total sense that it'd work there, in which case the release timing makes perfect sense. What do I know? :slight_smile:

    Regular Coffee and to an extent SSY completely changed my view of how you can incorporate coffee into a beer that isn't brown or pitch black. I still have one can of RC from last year that I'm saving for a big life event but every time I open the fridge and see it I'm extremely tempted.

    As a high school psychology teacher, I am more than excited to read that IDIPA is being followed up with those two. If only I could bring some in for show and tell...

    Great work as always @augiecarton.

    I don't find Boat to be like any session out there. Too crisp and a minerality that isn't present in other sessions.

    Last year I was up in Hoboken and my friend and I made it to Barcade Jersey City about 1pm on a Saturday...and got what was the last two pours of Carton Regular Coffee of the keg they had(we asked for it first). One of the best beers I tried for the first time in 2015.

    Does any one know if they are selling the same coffee mugs that they did last year

    At what point can we reasonably expect it to hit stores?

    It looks like it's a plastic travel mug instead this year
