Tally's Take
Why this matters
Started in a shed in the Mad River Valley and got so far ahead of its own capacity that the flagship had to be brewed in another state. Contract brewing is usually treated as a compromise; here it was the only honest way to answer the demand.

Demand so far outran the Vermont brewery that it had to be contract-brewed in Connecticut. Most breweries hide that arrangement; Lawson's put it on the can.

The largest of the Sunshine line. Keeping a triple IPA drinkable rather than sweet is the whole difficulty of the style.
