Carton Brewing Company | Four Brewers Podcast

Season 4, Episode 41 – This week, more brew from New Jersey!

We’re going back to the east coast with a show dedicated entirely to craft breweries from New Jersey, by way of 4B super-fans Alex Greene and Caitlin Sibley.

Being a podcaster can be fun and rewarding. If you’re a podcaster with a solid fan base that go above and beyond to contribute to your podcast, it’s the most rewarding feeling ever. Every time we get beers from listeners, we are both humbled and excited to be in the position we are in. This week, Caitlin and Alex brought fire with some fantastic New Jersey beers from their local breweries.

More and more, the beers we get from listeners include at least one (if not all) hazy, New England-style IPA. It’s all the rage right now in craft beer. What we find interesting and exciting is how the style is both evolving and growing from brewery to brewery. On the surface, it seems like hazy IPA would be simple to brew. Couldn’t a brewer just take a regular, west coast-style IPA, double dry-hop it, and then simply bypass the filter? The resulting beer would be cloudy, hoppy, and hazy, so, end of story, right? Well, no, that’s not all there is to it. Of all the beers we got from Alex and Caitlin, Magnify Brewing Company stood out head and shoulders above many recent New England-style hazy IPAs that we’ve had on the show.

Since we’re talking about hazy IPA, it only makes sense to talk about diacetyl and dissolved oxygen in regards to mobile canning lines. With the recent popularity of canned craft beer, diacetyl issues in beer have seemingly become a bigger problem than before with glass-bottled beer. We speculate as to why this is consistently a problem, and how it might be fixed.

Thanks, again, to Alex and Caitlin for the New Jersey beers. Tune in next week when we finish the rest of the beers from their care package!

Season 3, Episode 19 – This week we’re drinking some brews form New York and New Jersey and a new Grapefruit IPA from our friends at Refuge Brewery in Temecula, California. Natalie DeNicholas and John Ryti are also back with us.

Four Brewers has the best listeners. It’s true. Just putting that out there. I say that because four of the five beers we’re drinking on the show this week were graciously provided by Four Brewers listener Robert Perry. Getting east coast beers is tough for us, but fans like Robert have been stepping up lately and sending us some killer stuff.

The first two beers are from New Jersey’s Carton Brewing Company. Unbeknown to us, Carton is actually a great get for us here on the west coast, and the two IPAs we got from Robery were fresh AF. That’s how you do it folks: ship ’em fast and fresh!

Plan Bee and Newburgh Wax-Stamped Bottle Caps

Next up are two beers, both from two breweries that we had no idea even existed, Plan Bee Farm Brewery and Newburgh Brewing Co. The two beers are what they call a “100% NY Sour Ale” and are made with locally sourced ingredients from around the state of New York. Both beers are the exact same recipe, but each was fermented with two different yeast strains–one from Plan Bee and one from Newburgh. These beers were really great. Folks in NY/NJ are lucky to be able to get this magical juice…

Refuge Brewery - Grapefruit IPA — Refuge Brewery – Grapefruit IPA

We wrap up the show with a new beer from a local favorite of ours, Refuge Brewery out of Temecula, CA. Temecula’s beer scene has really been blowing up lately, and Refuge was there at the beginning of the boom. Their Blood Orange Wit is well known in these parts, and since they nailed the fruited witbier category, they decided to try their hand at an IPA with grapefruit.

Much thanks again to Robert Perry for the beers…Hail Satan. 😉
