37: Lawson’s Finest Liquids’ Sean Lawson: Delivering a Clear and Expressive Hops Experience from Brewhouse to the Consumer

Lawson’s has grown from tiny nano brewer to one of New England’s most well-known and respected brands by making finely crafted beers heavy on the hops. But one secret of their success is the way they’ve turned customers into advocates for the brand, checking retail placements and making sure that their beer is delivered—from brewery to customer—cold and fresh. In this episode Sean Lawson talks about their stages of growth, the challenges and opportunities they’ve navigated through, his preferences for hops blending, how they maintain punchy hops character throughout the brewing and distribution process, and the major changes the brewery is embarking on as they install their own 30 bbl brewhouse and build a direct customer experience.
