Lawson's Finest Liquids in Waitsfield, Vermont has announced that its Mad River Maple will be released for the first time outside of Vermont this October. Full details are below.

Waitsfield, VT. - Lawson’s Finest Liquids is making its classic maple ale, Mad River Maple, available to fans across the Northeast.

Flying Dog Brewery in Frederick, Maryland has announced the return of its "uncancellable" Freezin' Season Winter Ale. Full details are below.

Frederick, Md. – As colder weather looms near, Flying Dog Brewery’s Freezin' Season Winter Ale - the headline grabbing beer first released in 2021 - returns to shelves this month. Controversy surrounded Freezin' Season’s launch when North Carolina censors banned the sale of Freezin' Season in their state. But the dog fought the law and the dog won, and after a resounding victory for the First Amendment, Flying Dog is releasing the beer again this year just in time for Free Speech Week.

Upon its release, the North Carolina Alcoholic Beverage Commission (NC ABC) made the sale of Freezin' Season illegal in their state because they didn't think that adults should be allowed to decide for themselves what beers to purchase. The brewery was notified that its label for Freezin’ Season – illustrated by world-renowned artist Ralph Steadman and depicting a cartoon character standing by a fire – was rejected by the Commission for, inexplicably, being in “bad taste”.
