Lawson’s Finest Liquids

Lawson’s Finest Liquids is a beer brewing enterprise, owned and operated by a dynamic husband-wife duo Sean and Karen in Vermont. Sean has an incredible brewing experience as President of the Vermont Brewers Association from 2014-2017 to vouch for his knowledge of crafted brews. After over twenty years of homebrewing, Sean finally opened a nano-brewery, known today as Lawson’s Finest Liquids. Lawson’s Finest Liquids provides customers with a high-quality and memorable beer drinking experience. The brewery has won significant recognition for its maple brews and IPAs in particular. Beer brewed under the aegis of Lawson’s Finest Liquids has won awards at the Great American Beer Festival, World Beer Cup, and two National IPA Championships.

Housed in the atmospheric Mad River Valley, Vermont, Lawson’s Finest Liquids is a brewery, taproom and retail store all rolled into one. The brewery is open daily, and you can drop in with your entire family for an unparalleled beer drinking experience. The taproom is built with a hand-hewn timber frame and allows guests to sample the beers available on tap, cider, and fine wine. Teetotalers can choose a drink of their liking from an exciting range of non-alcoholic beverage selections. Light finger food is available as an accompaniment for your brew in the form of chips and dip, bread plates, pickled plates, mixed nuts, pretzels, and cheese or charcuterie plates.

The taproom features arcade games and foosball tables, making the space entertaining for children as well. You will also find a four-season beer garden just outside the taproom with comfortable seating, fire bowls and corn hole. The brewery viewing area is open to visitors who wish to observe the sights and aroma of freshly brewed and packaged beer. Lawson’s Finest Liquids’ retail store deals in merchandise such as t-shirts and other vibrant apparel. You can pick up your share of freshly canned beer here to gift to friends and relatives and perhaps even a four-pack or two to stock your own fridge.

The beer brewed by Lawson’s Finest Liquids can be found on draft and in canned form in eight states of the U.S., distributed by their own wholesale company – The Beer Guy. If you wish to have a more personal beer tasting experience, it is recommended that you visit the brewery and soak in the entire experience for yourself.
