    I admittedly took 1 look at the name and passed them by. And again. And again. Then realized that was silly and read some reviews, and it seems as though they may just make some tasty beers. Apparently Total Wine in northern NJ has an exclusive on them and they've got just about all of them. So where does one begin if they were to say, buy 5 bombers?

    Grazie

    I think they do stouts best, but I've never had anything outright bad by them. I think the general consensus is in line with my opinion, although I know some people don't care for them at all (my opinions or Clown Shoes).

    Hoppy Feet 1.5. I'm surprised I don't see more people talking about this beer, it's absolutely phenomenal. But stop passing them up, they make great beer, buy every one that you see, I've yet to have one that I didn't enjoy.

    Angry Beast. It's the barrel aged blaecorn Unidragon and vampire slayer blend, and it's the shit.

    Hoppy Feet 1.5 was blocking all of my other thoughts but what he said, Blaecorn Unidragon and Vampire Slayer are excellent.

    Blaecorn & Vampire are solid beers. Clementine is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me - so good on a hot day.

    Those two are my favorites from Clown Shoes. I've also heard great things about Porcine Unidragon and Luchador en Fuego. Their hoppy stuff is not bad either.

    Vampire Slayer went over very well at a bottle share back in December. I have a Blaecorn Unidragon that I'm probably going to be popping soon.

    I like where your head is at. I'm on board with all 4 of those. I think I want to try either Pimp or Chocolate Sombrero as well (or both). None are more than $9 and most are $6-$7

    I just avoid them for their names. The beer could be good, but I just cant do it. Obviously it sells, so all the power to them.
