NJ’s Best Craft Brewery is in Monmouth County

Earlier this week, we got the news that Toms River's own Uncle Dood's was named "Best Donut Shop" in the state of New Jersey. Today we got news of some more local New Jersey love.

When it comes to craft breweries, there isn't a shortage in Jersey. But it was great to see that Thrillist named Atlantic Highlands own Carton Brewing the Best Craft Brewery in the state.

The site said:

Named for the cousins who founded it and not some kind of paradigm-changing packaging scheme, Carton Brewing has quickly captured New Jersey's hearts and palates. Its Boat Beer is a session pale ale that's damn fine for drinking on boats, of course, but you'd be a fool to limit yourself to only aquatic-adjacent consumption. At the other end of the spectrum you have Regular Coffee, an understated name for a potent coffee cream ale clocking in at 12% ABV. Hmm... maybe a giant 64oz carton wouldn't be a bad thing? Oh wait, those are called growlers.

Congrats to Carton Brewing and thanks for making the Jersey Shore the "best!"
