HOPSTER’S CONTINUES ‘TAP TAKEOVER’ SERIES WITH AWARD-WINNING CLOWN SHOES BEER

Hopster’s, Boston's first and only
custom craft brewery and restaurant, is continuing its new tap takeover series
after a successful inaugural event; where it will host one of its favorite
local craft beer companies for one night, offering exclusive beers on tap from
the Brewery and a unique opportunity for avid fans to brew a rare recipe with
the brand’s founder or head brewer.

Clown
Shoes Beer, based in Ipswich, MA, will take over Hopster’s kettles and lead the
brewing efforts - including the grinding, mashing and boiling – to ultimately
create 75 gallons of a one-of-a-kind batch of Hoppy Feet Black IPA.

25
lucky people who reserve their spot in advance will have the opportunity to
brew custom craft beer from scratch with one of the industry’s top beer experts
and, after 2-3 weeks of fermenting, will have a case of this exclusive beer to
enjoy at home.            

Throughout
the evening, while the brewing process is taking place, brewers and non-brewing
spectators who stop in for a drink at Hopster’s bar will have a chance to taste
any of Clown Shoes’ ten top brews included in the lineup:

·
