1030 is pretty early for a beer that big, but it is a Friday I suppose.

blaecorn unidragon is a great beer. tried it for the first time this past week.

FBD: Dale's Pale Ale over lunch. Back at the office now but leaning toward ditching early for more beer in the backyard. weather has cooled off today; need to enjoy it.

still can't make myself buy Clown Shoes beer

Rate Beer has most all of them rated pretty highly, and Beer Advocate has them around 85-90, but I just don't trust a brewery that pops up out of nowhere and is in every little store around seemingly over night. Makes them seem like a BMC knock-off of some sort

They make some good stuff. There's only one of theirs I've had that I wouldn't have again (Miracle IPA). Cool labels, good beer, what's not to like?

I found that to be quite odd as well. Barely makes sense to me that a company can pop up out of nowhere and distribute to that many states with as many different offerings as they have. I honestly think it is because they contract brew. Contract brewing frees up so much of your resources for distribution and promotion.

They don't have near as many bills to pay as a company that built themselves from the ground up.
