Clown Shoes Brewery..Ipswich MA

[Stacey]

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be rude. It's a recurring comment, "I like beer, but I don't like clowns," and perhaps I was too quick to the defense. Clown Shoes' founder, Gregg, really doesn't like clowns either, and he'll never have a clown on a label.

I guess I should excuse myself from the conversation now, but honestly, I didn't mean to gate crash, I'm just psyched to be part of something new and cool.

Don't be sorry and certainly don't excuse yourself.Pretty hard to crash gate that opens up to a beer section with a topic on the very brewery you work for!

I don't see that she was rude at all.... It would be nice to see input from other companies whose products we use and talk about, come in and contribute. You guys might want to try to welcome her back to the party. It is a beer forum, even though it exists within a fishing site...

I was simply trying to provoke her into recommending a surfcasting themed beer to management.

What do you know about surfcasting? You might want to stick to subjects you know something about like shoes and man purses.

I've read several books and bought and sold a lot of rods. I also believe I've either gone even or out fished Nebe every time we've been together.

I have a wall of plugs and some even have a little weed stuck to them.

A few have some chips in the finish.

So yea, I'm down like that.

And back to the forum...dinking a Hop Devil.

Dinking?

You might want to consider a few less dinks.To many dinks can cause hand spasms when typing!

I didnt think you were being rude.....I felt you were backing your product.

I know it does sound trivial....but clowns really do give me panic attacks!! (I know I have issues!) It really WAS a "packaging" decision for me I hate to say. I am always trying new beer.....I am sure one (brave) day I will try your brew.

On a positive note....please dont be offended because I hate clowns. Maybe there is a lesson for both sides here.
Lesson to consumer-dont judge a beer by its label
Lesson to brewer-packaging CAN be the only deciding factor for many when deciding to try or not try a new product.

To that I say brew us a briny sea ale....slap a striped bass and a surfcaster on the bottle and you'll probably interest at least a few of us crusty ole salts!
