August = Double Sunshine Month!

Greetings all and Happy IPA day!
That's right, today is National IPA day and to celebrate, Lawson's Finest is brewing nothing but Double Sunshine IPA for the entire month of August! We've heard your calls for *more* Double Sunshine, and this month is your answer. Get it while you can, as after this run, we'll be taking a short hiatus from brewing this beer to make room in our fall brewing schedule for a few batches of Hopzilla Double IPA, Kiwi Double IPA and Big Hapi Black IPA.

This week, a small run of Double Sunshine in bottles heads to Warren Store, Hunger Mtn. Coop and Beverage Warehouse, along with a bounty of our collaboration with the Warren Store - Maple Wheat Ale. This very session-able (4.2% abv) wheat beer features a subtle dose of Vermont Maple Syrup and a blend of specialty wheat yeasts from Germany and Belgium, along with 50% German wheat and 50%  German Pilsen malts. Starting next week, on August 8 & 9, we'll be sending Double Sunshine IPA every week in draft and bottles to all of our accounts, through the end of the month.

August 10th Farmers Market


At the Waitsfield Farmers Market on Saturday August 10th from 9am to 1pm we will be offering the following bottles, with a 4 bottle per variety, per person limit (16 bottles total/person). We will begin handing out numbered tickets at 8am to secure a place in line, so you don't have to wait at the booth until your number is called. Once we reach your number, you may come up to the table at any time. In order to respect our fellow vendors and provide proper space, PLEASE do not gather at or in front of our booth unless your number is about to be called, or your number is lower than the current number on our deli-style lighted sign. See the link for directions and additional market info. AND be sure to shop at the amazing array of vendors at the market for the finest produce, meat, prepared foods, crafts and artisan products!

Bottle limit = 4/variety/person

2012 Maple Tripple Ale - $25/500ml
Double Sunshine IPA - $9/22oz
Spruce Tip IPA (VT Pub collaboration) - $9/22oz

Thanks and Happy sunshine month!

  1. If any of you Vermont residents is interested in a trade I would love 3 bottles of Double Sunshine. In exchange I can get a some fresh Pliny the Elder. I will be in VT on Saturday the 17th of August visiting from California.
