It's here! Sip of Sunshine IPA

The newest Lawson's Finest beer is now tap at some of your favorite establishments that serve our beer!

Sip of Sunshine IPA!
American Double IPA
8% ABV

I am very excited by our newest project, which is beer brewed at Two Roads Brewing. While technically called a "contract brew", this partnership will enable Lawson's to have some beer on tap more regularly! I traveled to their new brewery to brew up the first batch of this beer on March 17th (St. Patty's Day to us Irish folk!), which also happens to be the exact date that we sold our very first keg six years ago!

I created this beer to be very similar to the Double Sunshine IPA, but slightly different! Our partnership with Two Roads will enable me to brew this beer on a regular basis - they have a beautiful new facility in Stratford, CT, a fantastic crew of staff and owners, and a highly esteemed brewmaster, Phil Markowski with decades of experience. Most importantly, they have a very soft water source (low mineral content) that almost perfectly mirrors our water source here in Warren, VT. I created the recipe and participated in the brewing, transfer and carbonation at their brewery, and will continue to do so in the future. I hope to have this beer on tap all the time at the accounts listed on our website.

For now this beer is only on draft in kegs in our local Vermont market, and as I refine the recipe, we will look to packaging in bottles and maybe even cans in future months!
