Shane McElwrath reveals a bit more about the Dystopian State shenanigans in an interview with Business Examiner:

"The company’s website presents a counterculture vibe, describing a chaotic, dystopian world with crimes and cyborgs and a persistent feeling of impending doom .  Shane McElwrath said it’s all a little bit tongue in cheek, though. Truly, he and his friend/co-owner were both sick of the “corporate world” and decided to start their own business, predicated on their passion for beer making."
