I think Lawson's beers are great and they do both the just locally available beers brewed on-site and mass produce Sip so that it is available to a much larger audience. Sip is still absolutely excellent, its just a different drink versus a dense Trillium or Treehouse beer. And its still worthwhile to go up to VT to get the beers they only distribute locally. Similarly I went to Tampa last year, visited Cigar city brewery for some great beers and now love being able to get their Jai Alai in six packs in MA. Very drinkable IPA and l like the 12oz option.

Were it not for its convenience (near train, office) I would never have frequent Trillium to the extent I do. I think there is a LOT of marketing by scarcity (Trillium only sold by Trillium, Heady Topper was textbook at this originally) by many of these breweries that also claim a quality & sustainability. It is fine, they mean all of it and likely enjoy the small business model, but they are absolutely up-selling that.  It is just a different not necessarily intrinsically better or worse way to make a living.
