2015 Clown Shoes Release Schedule*

Fortunately, I hoarded up a few bottles. I love luchador too!

I hope Billionaire isn't so hard to find this year. It took quite a bit of running to get one bottle and it went down too fast!

 

Dropping in to say that the Mass.-only Breakfast Exorcism is absolutely fantastic. (http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/22951/168747/) Big espresso flavors offset with a spicy bite from the rye. Well done @ClownShoesDreams and @Axtimusprime 's artwork is on point, as usual.

 

Would love to trade for a bottle. Check my FT list, please

 

I have 1 Millonario and 2 Billionaire FT if anyone is interested.

 

Looks like Mango is next any clues on what it is?

 

Breakfast Exorcism is probably their best beer to date. It definitely needs to be a yearly release, even if just a very limited one.

A kolsch brewed with mangoes.

 

Really hope I see Billionaire. Loved last years version.

 

Hey, awesome. Glad you enjoyed. It's sort of weird that I am a huge coffee/espresso geek, and yet this is the first beer we have made using coffee. The folks at Barrington Roasting Co. are terrific at what they do, and they are game to help us find appropriate beans for specific projects. We are fired up to do more beers with coffee, including this years' Pecan Pie Porter!

 

Philadelphia was one of the first markets to ship this. We sent it last week, should be on shelves now or soon. Pierre Ferrand Billionaire is shipping out to most markets around the country, including here in MA, this week.

 

That's all well and good for Philly (who gets every damn thing) but I'm in Pittsburgh where we get largely tea-bagged in distro.

Hope that doesn't happen this time, this was one of my favorite beers last year.

 

we have 20 cases set aside for Pittsburgh, waiting to ship later this month once we have the rest of the order from our wholesaler

 

Cool, I hope I see it.

Thanks for the info.

 

Wow. @ClownShoesDreams, you making it official that Pierre ferrnard billionaire will be making its way to shelves already? The schedule had it set for release in the fall. What changed? And what's the status of the evil crawfish imperial brown?

 

@ClownShoesDreams . Glad to see you made it into Buffalo, NY distribution area ! I picked up Chocolate Sombrero, Blaecorn Unidragon, a wee heavy that was listed as retired and another imperial stout I'm also drawing a blank on. Looking forward to trying a few more of these that you are in the area. Thanks

 

Yes. Confirmed. We got Pierre Ferrand Billionaire into barrels early. It was tasting great at three months in barrel. We felt six months was enough. Evil Crawfish is on schedule for August or thereabouts. It will be an imperial red, playing on the recipe of Eagle Claw Fist.

 

Awesome. Thank you very much.

 

This beer is infused with coffee from my friends roastery in the Berkshires in Western Mass. Barrington Coffee Roasters. I've been drinking their coffee exclusively for over 20 years. They also did a collar with Trillium Brewing where Trillium used their Italian Roast Beans in their Night and Day.

 

Clown Shoes is a good brewery and I enjoy their offerings but I'm not impressed with their barrel-aging program. I feel like they need to age a lot longer. Just my two cents.

 

Edit: collaboration for collar

 

Keep up the great work @ClownShoesDreams You guys are rapidly climbing my list of favorite breweries. Now we just need to get Ohio to lift that stupid 12% ABV limit so I don't have to keep having my Michigan friends bring me Blaecorn.
