To follow up my latest blog article Barley and Potatoes and Rye, OH MY! - The Starch That Spirits Are Made Of I thought it would be appropriate to review a barleywine, which is not a wine at all but an ale made from barley. This is Crunkle Sam, an American Barleywine Ale by Clown Shoes. I paid $10 for a 1 pint 6 oz bottle.
Clown Shoes is brewed and bottled in Ipswich, Massachusetts so for me this is a local beer. A group of friends entered "Clown Shoes" in a beer-naming contest, just for fun, and lost. One of those guys, Gregg Berman, got inspired and all of a sudden they were making their own beer. I don't know how sales and placements are doing anywhere else, but they're doing damn good here on Cape Cod.
Crunkle Sam is a summer seasonal. The package, like every package that Clown Shoes does, is fucking brilliant. Uncle Sam is rockin' out at the Grand Canyon, boombox and all, drinking barleywine from his pimp chalice and setting off fireworks. He even has bottlerockets in a bottle. And, of course, he's wearing clown shoes. The ABV is 11% which, according to a colleague of mine, is actually not a lot for a barleywine. The same colleague told me that this style is best served with just a slight chill rather than the usual chill-the-shit-out-of-this-mofo approach that us Americans tend to have.

The ale is a rusty, hazy dark orange. When held up to light it reminds me of that tree sap jewelry with insects trapped inside, Jurassic Park style. The head is pretty thin and dissipates quickly. The nose is mostly grapefruit with caramel toffee and brown spices. There's also a tiny little bit of cherry flavored hard candy that pops up for a quick second now and again.

Final analysis of this beer lies within a gray area. I'm glad that I had it and I truly recommend that you pick up a bottle as well, if you can. Buuuuuut... for me, it's a fun one-and-done experience. As much as I loved it, and to underscore I did love it, I just don't see myself buying it again. There wasn't anything profoundly intriguing enough to keep me coming back when I have the option to try a different wine or beer I've never had before, the other interesting beers from Clown Shoes included.
I would not hesitate for a second to recommend it to a craft beer customer looking to try something different, as craft beer fanatics like to do.
The bottle used was purchased by myself for the purpose of this review.

ReplyDeleteHow CyberH4cks.com exposed ghost tankers and saved us from disaster
ReplyDeleteThis is the kind of story you only tell anonymously. My firm does a lot of arbitrage on Middle Eastern crude, and we thought we were pretty smart. We already had satellite services and even a “consultant” feeding us intel about Iranian exports. But then we got caught badly on a trade because we didn’t realize half the tankers we were counting were actually ghost ships spoofing their positions to skirt sanctions.
A colleague told me “you need CyberH4cks, they see through the noise.” Skeptically, I shot them an email, and their team got back almost immediately with a secure onboarding link. They asked all the right questions, including which ports and which grades we cared about. Within a few days they had me logged into their dark ship detection dashboard. It was incredible — you could literally see ships blinking out of AIS, then popping back up with fake destinations. CyberH4cks explained how they cross-check against their own passive data sources to figure out who’s lying.
The next week, we spotted a fleet of supposedly loaded tankers actually sitting empty — their drift patterns gave them away. We avoided a position that would have cost us $4 million if we’d stayed in. After that, we had full confidence in their capabilities. Their crew even wrote us a custom script to alert us whenever ships went dark in the Arabian Gulf.
What I appreciate about CyberH4cks is how technical they are but still able to explain everything at a level a trader can understand. They don’t just sell you data, they give you insight. And every time I hit their customer support (which is actually staffed 24/7), I get fast, clear, actionable answers.
I’m a client for life. Don’t trade blind. Watch the ocean.
Hello, I'm so grateful to CreditFirm Net Solution. After losing my husband 8 months ago, I was left to pick up the pieces of my shattered credit score. Late payments, medical loans, and derogatory marks had taken a toll on my financial stability. But thanks to a friend's recommendation, I reached out to CreditFirm Net Solution, and they worked magic! They cleared all the negative marks from my report, boosted my score from 500+ to impressive 806, and added positive tradelines. I'm enjoying financial freedom and peace of mind. If you're struggling with poor credit like mine in past, I highly recommend them via : creditfirmnetsolution AT Gmail Dot com They're the real deal! Their expertise and guidance have been a game-changer for me.
ReplyDeleteTo anyone feeling trapped by bad credit, I truly understand. My name is Jace Hudson, I'm a single dad, i felt like my financial life was a constant uphill battle. My credit score stocked at a dismal 512, tried applying for a better apartment or a reliable car but was met with rejection. It felt like past mistakes were forever holding me back. I tried other credit repair companies, only to have them take my money and deliver nothing. I was beyond skeptical and convinced my credit was a lost cause, a permanent black mark. But then, a friend, who knew my struggles, urged me to try CREDITFIRM NET SOLUTION. My guard was up, but something about their genuine approach felt different. They didn't make empty promises; they offered a clear, step-by-step plan tailored to my situation. For the first time, I felt understood, not judged. They meticulously went through my credit report, identifying every derogatory mark, old medical bills, late payments, even a forgotten collection. They didn't just dispute them; they worked tirelessly to make sure it was off, the results were astounding, just within few days CREDITFIRM NET SOLUTION cleared all the derogatory marks from my report and my score soared from 512 to an amazing 802! It was not just a number but a new beginning. Now I’ve secured a much better car loan, saving me significant money, and I'm now actively planning to buy a home for my daughter and l. The financial burden that weighed me down has finally been lifted. Reach them via: CREDITFIRMNETSOLUTION AT GMAIL DOT COM they're just what you need. And thank me later, cheers.
ReplyDeleteHey guys, I never imagined that I could overcome this. The rejection letter for my car loan sat on the kitchen counter, it wasn't the first. With a credit score of 518 and a mountain of derogatory marks from old medical bills, every application was a dead end. I was stuck, unable to get the car I needed for work or the loan for my long-overdue knee surgery. Then I found CREDITFIRM SOLUTION. They took my messy financial history and began to untangle it, piece by piece. They systematically challenged every error and ancient debt on my report, and with each successful removal, it felt like a heavy weight was being lifted. He then showed me how to add positive credit history, what he called "tradelines," to my report. I followed his plan precisely, just within 6 days I checked my score again, I was terrified to look. But when I saw the number, 806, my breath caught. It was a beacon of hope. My new loan applications were approved almost instantly, and suddenly, the car and the surgery weren't just a story—they were real possibilities. CREDITFIRM SOLUTION'S expertise didn't just fix my credit; they helped me reclaim my future. I'm beyond grateful for the opportunity to finally move forward.

ReplyDeleteThank you Metronet Credit Solution for helping me fix my credit score. I suffered setback on health ground that affected my credit score drastically in the year 2023. Rebuilding my credit score became a nightmare because i was already into medical collections, loans that I couldn't pay back after my recovery in 2024, this became a very serious challenge for me, had to go online shuffling for a reputable company that could help fix my credit to no avail. On 26th of July,2025, a friend in Texas reached out to me, I complained what I was passing through, and he recommended this amazing company which I gave a shoot. I reached out to this company on 15th of August, 2025 for help,and this amazing company promised to fix my credit score after about 20mins conversation with the company, they assured to fix my credit score, delete late payments,and all negative items on my reports showing across credit bureau! Couldn't believe it initially because it was too good to be true. Wow! to my greatest surprise, I was asked to verify and confirm my new credit score across the 3 credit bureau, and I did as directed only to see an amazing excellent credit score with all my negative items cleared, it was like a magic but then, I refused to recommend their services because I want to be very sure it was going to work out and I kept monitoring the new credit score to see if it will drop but it never dropped. Just last week Thursday, I applied for a loan from a credit firm that was into loan and got approved from same loan company that turned me down late last year. Thank you Metronet for all your help. Kindly reach via: WhatsApp or Email: METRONETCREDITSOLUTION@GMAIL.COM. Don't forget to mention that Mr. Roger Morgan recommended their services to you.
