Known for a full range of styles

Founded in 2011 by Augie Carton and his cousin Chris in Atlantic Highlands, Carton is best known for Boat Beer — a minimalist session ale that became a New Jersey cultural touchstone. The brewery's philosophy of 'drinking locale' informs every recipe, from the zip-code-named 077XX DIPA to its cold-brew coffee session stout.

How we measure this

Two thresholds are at work here:

  • The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
  • The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.

A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
