This One Time In A Facebook Beer Group

This One Time In A Facebook Beer Group starts with the chassis of 077XX — our beloved, overbuilt, Jersey-born double IPA — and then nudges it into the kind of territory 077XX has been threatening to explore for years. NZ Cascade and Waimea bring that Carton-favorite citrus grit: lime peel, orange pith, a little coastal wind. Citra and Galaxy pile on with the big tropical punch, and the Citra + Galaxy Abstrax oils let us sharpen those flavors into something almost too dialed-in for polite company. It’s the familiar 077XX backbone, but louder, brighter, and joyfully more unhinged — the exact kind of evolution that happens when two NJ breweries chase a joke in a beer group and wind up with a beer that tastes exactly like the kind of trouble we get into on purpose. Chico yeast keeps it clean, dry, and recognizably Carton, letting the 7.8% and the hop bill do the storytelling. It’s the spirit of 077XX retold through the chaos of the internet — all Jersey, all hops, all in on the joke.
