Craft Brewery of the Year

Lawson’s Finest Liquids

Waitsfield, Vermont-based Lawson’s Finest Liquids achieved several milestones in 2023, including achieving B Corporation Certification and completing 100% solar powered brewing operations with Vermont’s largest solar canopy. Beyond the beer, Lawson’s donated around $40,000 to the Vermont Strong fund, which went to helping flood victims in the state.

Lawson’s co-founder Sean Lawson also passed the torch as CEO to Adeline Druart, who will lead the brewery in its next growth phase. Moving forward, the Lawsons will serve as brand stewards and ambassadors, while Drurart looks to build upon their legacy.
