    Just saw this pop up on their FB page last night. Interesting time to be debuting an IPA but I am very much looking forward to trying this one. Cool label too!

    "Due mid November. This will be a blend of German and American hops and malts, including Bavarian Red X malt. Here is the label so far, we may tweak it a little..."

    I love when breweries go in a different direction than expected. With the title I was expecting another Christmas/Holiday spiced beer. Will definitely be on the lookout for this one.

    There is a reason we call ourselves Clown Shoes...

    Very cool label! Would like to try this.

    I love Clown Shoes for their creativeness and their against-the-norm style.

    As usual, I'm interested, but also as usual, I probably won't be able to find it anywhere... :-(

    per their FB page in response to what states are receiving this? "Most of them we work with. Nothing firm yet, but this is a national release."

    Hey guys it's Matt from Clown Shoes. We'll be using Chico yeast in this one so it should be nice and clean. Our goal is to use a 50/50 mix of ingredients from Germany and America so you'll get the best of both worlds.

    Uhhh, this isn't the most novel idea, c'mon....anyone ever hear of Sierra Nevada Celebration? On a more positive note, I like the sound of this. In addition, it'll be nice to have another fresh IPA around the holidays besides Celebration...
