Clown Shoes Miracle IPA Saves Puppies (And Other Good Things)

Clown Shoes Miracle IPAOk, more than just puppies.  A percentage of the sales of Clown Shoes Brewing’s new Miracle IPA will benefit the Minor Miracle Fund.  The fund will go to support worthy causes over time.  Miracle Mike (mentioned on the label) is a real person – Mike Pettengill, one of the brewery’s delivery drivers.   He is having a costume designed for him to wear at events/festivities/fundraisers.  Best answer to why he is the one on the beer label?  Per Mike: “Because I’m f&#king awesome.”  Save the world Mike.  Save the world.

Our boy, Miracle Mike, represents the good we hope to do with the Clown Shoes Minor Miracle Fund.  A percentage of profits from this juicy, sessionable IPA will be used to help real people (and maybe a puppy or two.) 

Style: American IPA
Availability: 22oz bombers. Retail $4-ish dollars.
Arrival: Late March, 2012

Clown Shoes: Chocolate Sombrero, Philly, Georgia

Clown Shoes Chocolate SombreroToday, Clown Shoes is brewing Chocolate Sombrero (previously known as cocoa powder.)   The brewery dubs it their Mexican imperial stout, because it uses ancho chile powder, cinnamon, and organic vanilla extract.   This brew day marks the last stout they are brewing for the season.

Starting next week, Clown Shoes expands into Philadelphia.  Georgia will see expanded distribution soon (as right now the beers are only sold in Total Wines in the state, which has raised legality questions.)

Mercury Brewing in Ipswich, Massachusetts is expanding their facility, which will allow for more Clown Shoes.

As for Mexican Sombrero:

Style: Imperial Stout
Adjuncts: Vanilla extract, Ancho chili powder, cinnamon.

Availability: 22oz bombers

9% ABV
