Given that early spring generally marks the final flourish of grapefruit season, it's well and truly an appropriate time to release a delectable grapefruit-infused beer, which is precisely what Lawson's Finest Liquids has done with the much-anticipated distribution of its grapefruit double IPA.
The 'Double Sunshine with Ruby Red Grapefruit' has been a favourite ever since it began to be brewed by the venerable Vermont brewery, with the latest iteration of this double IPA said to combine a tried and tested formula with a couple of gentle bonuses.
According to Sean Lawson, CEO and founding brewer of Lawson's Finest Liquids, the distribution of this beer across nine states is a means of servicing a growing need among beer lovers. “Double Sunshine with Ruby Red Grapefruit is the most highly coveted brew among our loyal fans. This special edition has an extra layer of mouth-watering, juicy, lush fruit character and dank tropical aromas," Lawson said.
