Description
Founded in December 2009 by beer lovers trying to make work fun again, Clown Shoes has been redefining what craft beer should be. We strive to add our own little creative twists on under-represented styles and styles in need of change.

In late 2017, Clown Shoes joined Mass. Bay Brewing Company, makers of Harpoon and UFO. With the greater resources and capabilities, we have expanded our special release and barrel aging programs with over 25 one-off beers in 2018 alone. Clown Shoes continues to grow and innovate, while keeping our own personality and style to bring you interesting and unique beers.

Canned. Amber colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is citrus, nectar, some sweet malts, quite sweet and peach. Flavour is peach, some floral, sweet malts with mild tropical fruit juice tones. Nice bitterness meeting sweetness in the finish. Old school, and pleasant. Best of all, the beer is quaffable and has 9 % ABV! Danger alert!
