On our journey in Vermont this place is awesome for beer, cheese, and small bites. I miss it.

Lawson's Finest Liquids is a craft brewery that opened in Warren, Vermont in 2008. It was founded by brewer Sean Lawson. Although he grew up in New Jersey, Lawson felt a special calling to Vermont and attended the University of Vermont in Burlington. After a friend introduced him to home-brew, Lawson quickly took up homebrewing as a hobby. His first brew was a maple wheat ale. He married his wife Karen in the early 2000s and by 2006 they started constructing a small brewhouse next to their home in Warren. The barn-style 1-barrel brewhouse (which they dubbed the "Crooked Cabin") officially began production in 2008. This facility never opened to the public, but Lawson would delivery 22 oz bottles of his brews to nearby stores (like the Warren Store) every Thursday morning. The beer's popularity took off almost immediately with the help of media coverage, word of mouth, and beer trading. Craft beer fans would make the trek to Vermont from long distances to get some of the award-winning brews. By 2011, Lawson expanded to a 7-barrel brewhouse to keep up with supply and demand. In 2014, Two Roads Brewing in Stratford (CT) began contract brewing some of his beers to help out with distribution. The brewery was a one man operation until 2016. The following year, Lawson broke ground on a much larger facility and taproom in Waitsfield. The 7,500-square-foot facility opened in October 2018 and now has 50 employees. I recently visited Lawson's Finest Liquids for the first time while I was on a Vermont craft beer road trip. Although it was my first visit to the brewery, I've been enjoying Lawson's brews since I first became passionate about craft beer over 10 years ago. I even briefly worked at Two Roads Brewing at the time that they began contract brewing "Sip of Sunshine" IPA and I still have one of the original 22 oz glass bottles (before they switched to tallboy cans). I arrived at the brewery right when they opened. The facility and surrounding grounds are absolutely gorgeous. The taproom has a rustic cabin feel and there's plenty of seating inside and outside on the patio. There's even hiking trails on the grounds. I pulled up a seat at the bar and looked over the food menu. I decided to order the "Brie, Jam N' Ham" (pressed sandwich with melty Vermont Farmstead Brie, speck, apricot jam, balsamic glaze) which came with potato chips and a pickle. It was so delicious; it tasted like Vermont in a sandwich. I washed it down with short pours of "Double Sunshine" (Double IPA), "Barrel-Aged Wee Heavy" (Rye Whiskey Barrel-Aged Scotch Ale), "Fayston Maple" (Imperial Maple Syrup Stout), and "Tequila Barrel-Aged Triple Sunshine" (Tequila Barrel-Aged Triple IPA). Every single beer that I tried was fantastic! I was even lucky enough to meet Sean Lawson himself! He was super friendly, talked with me for a few minutes, and posed for a photo with me. Before leaving, I purchased some beer-to-go and a cycling jersey in the gift shop. I had a truly exceptional experience at Lawson's Finest Liquids and hope that I can return in the future!

Lawsons is one of our all time favorite breweries in the country. The beer and wine are delicious and we bought a few flats of beer to take home. We also ordered the cheese plate this year and all of the cheese was from local farms. Really delicious. Every person who works here is a delight. Based on my understanding they pay each person a liveable wage and they don't work for tips. I adore this. All tips are donated to charity. They also have solar power to run things like the hand dryers in the bathroom. We love the space. If there weren't so many good places to go to in the area we'd love to spend hours here. Will be back next time we are in town!

I can take Lawson's Finest Liquids off of my "to try" list at long last. I have been wanting to try beer from this place for quite a while and with time and patience it finally happened and I am super grateful that it did. Steve and I had the Sip of Sunshine IPA which I believe is one of their flagship beers. Flavors to look for with this IPA while this fine liquid is on your tastebuds is hoppiness, tropical, sweet and floral. The body of the beer is very smooth which is very pleasant also for the mouthfeel category. Nice IPA for sure, not super aggressive as some but one to just kick back and relax with.

Very clean taproom. Large space with great outdoor seating. A few fire pits if you get there early. Had an empanada pop up called Paparika. It was excellent. Had the pruna which I would highly recommend. Beer: Hazy Rays IPA. Hoppy, fruity and delicious.

Had great IPA brews here, mine was a Maple flavor with the essence of Vermont maple syrup! We sat outside, had music, great atmosphere! You order at the bar after being seated and receive a buzzer that lets you know when your food is ready. Service was fairly quick. We had the hummus for a starter, my dining partner had the burger and I Had the veggie Ruben sandwich. Go if you want a relaxing time.
