Listed below is a sample of some of the beers that are available in 2008.

Fistful-O-Hop India Pale Ale – Bursting with citrus and piney aromas, this resinous India Pale Ale is one of Lawson’s signature brews. It packs a punch with a big bite and dry finish, it is wicked hoppy! ~6.1% a/v

Crooked Cabin Ale – Our rich American amber ale is smooth drinking and full of malty goodness. Great for those shy of the hop and a fan of full-bodied flavorful beer. ~5.5% a/v

Maple Nipple – Our hearty Vermont Maple ale is a unique and tasty brew loaded with local maple syrup and a kick! ~8.0% a/v

Maple Tripple— Enticing, rich and complex. This creation defies easy description. Brewed with 100% Lawson’s Finest maple sap and an extra addition of maple syrup to send you over the edge! ~10.1% a/v

Fayston Maple Imperial Stout – A huge, rich, and strong stout brewed with a maple twist. Designed to keep you warm on sub-zero nights and for sipping with a fine meal or dessert. ~9.5% a/v

Red Spruce Bitter – A winter seasonal brew infused with fresh sprigs of the red spruce tree and a dash of cinnamon that breaks from traditionally heavy holiday brews with a light body and refreshing zest. ~ 4.9% a/v

Farmhouse Rye – Brewed once a year, this brew using rye, barley and wheat borrows from Wallonian tradition in creating a unique ‘house brew’. Fermented with a Belgian Saison yeast, finished with a champagne yeast for extra dryness, carefully aged and bottle conditioned. ~11.5% a/v
