Message: [QUOTE="Dogdeacon, post: 2990827, member: 1026"] Bought within a week of when I drank it, my buddy is up at Mad River most weekends and brought it back after rain Saturday before New Year's ruined the snow and 'forced' him over to the brewery. Again it was more circumstantial in terms of tasting, drank right out of can at a party while snacking on everything within reach, only thing I can say for sure is I wasn't wowed. I'd heard moving production of Sip to CT (within last 2yrs?) was simply so the brewer could continue to focus on unique brews whilst satisfying what had become insatiable demand - but the hops portion of the story also makes sense for 'mass production' of a craft beer. I can't say that I taste a difference between Sip from 3yrs ago when I first drank some and today, so credit to Lawson's for quality outsourcing and I'd call it large scale production to avoid connotation that its Sam Adams or an IM Bev 'craft' beer. I'm not hostile to producing a lot of a very good beer if quality is maintained especially since lots of craft brewers seem to force scarcity to jack up price. Do they still brew any Sip of Sunshine in VT? I had a couple on draft at Sugarbush last winter & it tasted pretty fresh. [/QUOTE]
