Carton Brewing Company's Beach

I am drinking a Beach by Carton Brewing Company.

I am in Skillman, NJ, drinking Beach by Carton Brewing Company. Carton Brewing Company is a Micro Brewery in Atlantic Highlands, NJ. Beach beer style is Pale Ale - American, with an ABV of 4% and IBU of 40. I gave Beach a 2.75 on Untappd's 5 point rating system.

Brewer's notes

Like the tension and relief of a day spent flitting between laying on sand under the beating sun and bobbing on the ocean’s cool surf, summer session drinking needs leisurely contrast. With Beach we find that midpoint where Kolsch yeasts fruity character matches its lean dryness and where an amber’s roundness gets pulled taught by cracker notes. The hops’ fruity aromatics flow, and the bitterness ebbs, with a swash of orange zest to be clean and lean, bitter and bright. Drink Beach and be chill.

Having decided they had something to contribute to the very exciting conversation going on in craft brewing, cousins Chris and Augie Carton teamed up and started Carton Brewing. In the seashore community where they were born and raised, the Carton boys found a turn-of-the-century red brick warehouse and adapted it to accommodate a state-of-the-art Newlands Systems 15 barrel brew house. 6 E. Washington Avenue was turned into an independent craft brewery and their hats were in the ring. Applying a passion for stimulating flavor to inspiration found all around them, they set about their goal: to make tasty beer in the place their tastes were formed.

Foolproof Brewing Company's Pineapple Vango

I am drinking a Pineapple Vango by Foolproof Brewing Company. I am listening to James Brown and sitting on the patio. This sour like a light a carbonated beverage with tiny bubbles. Ephemeral white lacy head. Delicious and refreshing. An excellent thirst quencher for this hot and humid weekend weather.

Brewer's notes

Named after our decision to stop using paper bags at the brewery and instead going with a reusable bag solution. Imperial IPA hopped at 8 pound per barrel with Azacca and El Dorado.

WE DO NOT HAVE A TAPROOM AT THE BREWERY BUT 100% OF OUR DRAUGHT BEER GOES TO BRICK FARM TAVERN WHICH IS ON THE SAME PROPERTY. POURS AND FLIGHTS ARE AVAILABLE WHENEVER THEY ARE OPEN, EVEN WHEN WE ARE CLOSED. WE DO NOT SERVE ANY POURS OR TASTINGS AT THE BREWERY ITSELF. WE DO NOT HAVE TAPS AT THE BREWERY, WE DO NOT FILL GROWLERS, WE DO NOT OPEN UNLESS WE HAVE PRE-FILLED, 32OZ CANS OF OUR LATEST BEER. WE RARELY RELEASE MORE THAN ONE BEER PER WEEK, WHICH MEANS THE ACTUAL BREWERY IS RARELY OPEN MORE THAN ONE DAY A WEEK.
