    Just had a look for the first time in 5 or 6 weeks and note that they have 4 from Clown Shoes !

    Don't remember seeing anything from them before - but stand to be corrected !

    The first CS appeared a month or so ago but by the looks of it they're slowly adding more from couple of the breweries.

    What's your impression of Clown Shoes folks?

    I've had half a dozen or so offerings from them, all in the US, mix of on tap and bottled

    Had tramp stamp a few years back, was OK no world beater, ditto Hoppy Feet

    On my most recent trip over the pond I had a bottle of Chocolate Sombrero and really enjoyed that

    Also had (as available on BOE) the Blaecorn Unidragon on tap at TJ's in Paoli, PA

    A little too 'alcoholy' for me (was 12.5%) but not as well balanced as I'd hoped

    Overall - they are an OK to decent brewery but could be better! 7/10 IMHO

    They look funny and are totally impractical for running

    Yeah - don't go blowing £11/12 on them - they're not that good

    I was just interested to note they were now being imported to the UK

    I nearly picked up a bottle of Hoppy Feet a few weeks back in a liqour store when I was in DE at $5.99 for a bomber, that's an Ok price AFAIK - £4 ish !!!

    If you were driving a car with square wheels, that collapsed upon arrival - would you be concerned with your footwear ?!?

    But it's usually the Clown's head and make up which really freaks people out.

    There are exceptions of course.
