Bada Bean!

We’re beyond excited to introduce Bada Bean!, a beer made for the people, by the people. Earlier this year, we partnered with the Collective Beer Project to let our fans take the reins on crafting this beer—from the style to the label and even the name! After the votes were counted, it was clear that you wanted a Coffee IPA, and we’ve delivered exactly that.

To make this brew even more special, we teamed up with our local friends at Fair Mountain Coffee Roasters, who provided the finest Sumatra coffee beans for that dark, roasty, and slightly sweet flavor profile. The Sumatra blend brings in rich notes of dark chocolate, spice, and subtle smokiness, which perfectly complement the bold hop trio of Citra, Zythos, and Cascade. Together, the coffee’s robust, earthy undertones balance the zesty citrus and pine flavors from the hops, creating a truly unique beer with layers of complexity.

But this release isn’t just about great beer—it’s about celebrating our community and the local businesses that help it thrive. As  Small Business Saturday is upon us, we’re reminded of the incredible support local businesses like ours receive. When you choose Carton Brewing, you’re choosing to support the backbone of New Jersey’s vibrant small business scene.

So join us in the taproom for the exclusive release of Bada Bean!, grab a 4-pack for your holiday celebrations, and let’s raise a glass to local flavor, community, and great beer. 🍻
