Oh my Darling…
I seemed to recall enjoying this beer one night last week, as well as several other beers. So I wanted to give it its due, and make it the official beer of the day.
Clown Shoes Beer was actually started in 2009 by a couple of guys who managed the beer section at a Massachusetts liquor store, and thought they could make a pretty good beer. And that they do. Clown Shoes brews are getting a following in the DC area.
The Clementine White Ale is a Belgian style white ale, flavored with Clementine orange peel, coriander and other spices. The orange taste is just enough to notice, but not overpowering.
While doing some research tonight, I actually came across a web site that referenced a bit of a controversy surrounding some of Clown Shoe’s beer names and labels, which some consider sexist and/or racist, such as the Tramp Stamp IPA pictured here. Read the article and tell me what you think!
