Lawson's Finest Liquids Releases Big Hoppy, Brewery's First Black IPA

Lawson's Finest Liquids in Waitsfield, Vermont has announced the release of its first black IPA called Big Hoppy. Full details are below.

Waitsfield, VT. - For the first time ever and just in time for fall, Lawson’s Finest Liquids is introducing a Black IPA across the Northeast. Big Hoppy, a 7.5% ABV Black IPA boasting a bold flavor profile, is now available for the first time across the brewery’s nine-state distribution area of VT, CT, MA, ME, NH, NJ, NY, PA, and RI.  

Made with huge additions of five hop varieties and seven malts, Big Hoppy is a dark and decadent brew reflecting a resinous, sticky fusion and intense bitterness for the most devoted hopheads. With its potent aromas and bold taste, the beer leads with a roasted flavor profile complemented by its signature bitterness resulting from a potent blend of hops.”  

“Big Hoppy was first brewed as a limited batch before moving into the Taproom at Lawson’s Finest,” said Sean Lawson, CEO and Founding Brewer of Lawson’s Finest Liquids. “As a Black IPA it offers something uniquely fitting for fall. Our fans in the Taproom made it clear that Big Hoppy is a seasonal favorite, so we couldn’t be more excited to debut the beer across the Northeast for the first time this year.”  

Big Hoppy is the latest beer to be released as part of Lawson’s Finest specialty distribution calendar. Now until the end of October, Big Hoppy can be found in 4-packs at retailers across the Northeast. Later this year, the brewery will continue its calendar of specialty releases with Mad River Maple and its celebrated annual Barrel-Aged Winter lager.
