Get to Know Us Better…
Straight From the Green Mountains to Your Head!
Lawson’s Finest Liquids is an independent, B Corp-certified craft brewery rooted in Vermont. Founded in 2008 by Sean Lawson, we quickly grew from a 1-bbl home-based brewery to launching our flagship IPA, Sip of Sunshine, in 2014, and then opened our destination brewery and Taproom in Waitsfield in 2018.
Awarded 2023 Brewery of the Year by Brewbound and Beer Connoisseur, we produce beer of the highest quality with outstanding freshness, from world-class IPAs to unique maple brews. Visitors can drink at the source with exclusive beers, a local food menu, and sweeping Green Mountain views.
Lawson’s Finest is a valued leader in craft beer culture, creating local economic vitality, rewarding careers, and giving back to the community—with over 400 nonprofits supported and $3M donated since 2018 through our Social Impact Program.
