Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 2990939, member: 1414"] It's a long story of sorts. Sean Lawson started brewing at his house in Warren VT. He delivered those bottles to the Warren Store in Warren, and then to two other stores. It became very popular and he kept delivering every week to each of those three stores. At some point they decided to test out canning and making more of something. Sean went to Two Roads and brewed Sip of Sunshine and canned it. That was sold in CT and VT and later other places like MA. They added Super Session to what they brew at Two Roads. They chose the base "IPA" not a double like Double Sunshine and the Session. All the while Double Sunshine was among the three most sought after beers (Triple Sunshine, Double Sunshine and Maple Fayston). People continued to flock to the original 3 stores to get those. Sip was never the most popular beer they made, I think it just had wider appeal and was easier to brew. Note, even now they said "brewed by Lawson's at Two Roads". It isn't contract brewed. Eventually, they made enough money to build the new brewery and taproom in Waitsfield, which is spectacular. Now we have regular access to all those nearly impossible to get beers. People like what they will, but most people (including me) think Double Sunshine beats Sip. Maple Fayston is phenomenal as is the Triple Sunshine. [/QUOTE]
