Every day is a sunny day here at Lawson's Finest Liquids, especially when we're talking about Double Sunshine IPA — our "original home run" beer that was the inspiration behind Sip of Sunshine. Double Sunshine is an American Double IPA packed with juicy, lush tropical fruit character and dank herbal aromas thanks to an abundance of U.S. grown hops and a selection of specialty malts. At 8% alc/vol, it strikes a harmonious balance between rich sweetness and a crisp, dry finish.

From its iconic gold-foil bottle days to Taproom-only cans, we are thrilled to spread the sunshine beyond the Green Mountains of Vermont for the first time ever! So, sip it while you can, folks! 2025 is off to a sunny start and we can't wait to have this beer venture out of Vermont and into your cooler. Use our Lawson's Finest Beer Finder to track down a cold, fresh 4-pack at a store near you.

Badge Criteria: Check in one (1)  Lawson's Finest Liquids Double Sunshine on draft or from a can to receive this badge between January 7, 2025 and March 31, 2025.

For years, Samuel Adams has been dedicated to crafting exceptional beers for every kind of beer drinker, and that commitment extends to those who want all the flavor of a great beer—without the alcohol. Enter Just the Haze, our non-alcoholic IPA that's redefining expectations of what an NA beer can be.

With its bold, hoppy aroma, juicy tropical fruit notes, and smooth finish, Just the Haze delivers everything you'd expect from a classic Samuel Adams IPA. It's a brew crafted with care for those moments when you want the taste of beer without the buzz—whether you're at the gym post-workout, office happy hour, or simply looking for a lighter option to pair with your day.

So why create an Untappd badge for Just the Haze? The simple answer: we believe great taste deserves to be celebrated. We've always been about making beer for everyone, and Just the Haze is our way of proving that "non-alcoholic" doesn't have to mean "less than." It's packed with all the premium craftsmanship, ingredients, and innovation you expect from Samuel Adams—just without the alcohol.

To honor the growing community of NA beer enthusiasts and showcase how Just the Haze is changing the game, we've partnered with Untappd to launch a limited-edition badge.

Beer Passport is a pocket-sized collection of 74 brewery taprooms, allowing the holder to EXPLORE London's thriving craft brewery scene, DISCOVER exciting and interesting new breweries and DRINK excellent beer.

Beer Passport holders receive exclusive discounts at every brewery taproom, such as Buy One Get One Free, 50% off a flight of beer, or even a free pint. The taprooms range from some of the biggest and best-known across London (including Siren, Gipsy Hill, Signature, Pretty Decent, and Camden Town) all the way to Brightwater Brewery which claims to be the smallest pub in the UK.

The process couldn't be easier:

1. Take your Beer Passport to a participating brewery taproom
2. Enjoy a delicious craft beer
3. Get a stamp in your Beer Passport to show that you've been there

It's a fantastic way to get to parts of London that you've never seen before and support a vital industry at a time of real need.

There are over 100 breweries in London, and around 1,720 breweries across the UK. But the brewing industry is in a tough place right now. Costs for raw materials, power, and rent have all risen sharply in recent years, meaning that many breweries find themselves in real hardship. According to the Society of Independent Brewers and Associates, there are 94 fewer breweries in the UK than there were at the start of 2024.

One way that you can support independent local breweries is by going straight to the source – their taproom. This is where you'll find the freshest beers, often served by the people who brewed them. You'll be contributing to an important business that employs local people that are passionate about the work they're doing. So, whether you have a Beer Passport or not, let's do what we can to keep these pillars of the community alive.

Endorsed by the London Brewers Alliance, Beer Passport 2025 is now available at beerpassport.co.uk. It offers over £350s worth of savings and is the perfect gift for yourself or the beer adventurer in your life.

Real Ale Brewing Company: Brewing with Purpose and Partnering with Feeding Texas

At Real Ale Brewing Company, we've always believed that great beer is about more than just quality ingredients and craftsmanship—it's about community. Since we opened our doors in 1996, we've been committed not only to brewing exceptional beer but also to giving back to the people who have supported us along the way. One of the most meaningful ways we do this is through our partnership with Feeding Texas, a statewide hunger-relief organization dedicated to ensuring that no Texan goes hungry.

Our Commitment to Community
As a Texas-based craft brewery, we're deeply connected to the people and places that make this state so special. Over the years, we've worked hard to create beers that represent the spirit of Texas—from our Fireman's #4 Blonde Ale to our Devil's Backbone Belgian-style Tripel. But we know that our success wouldn't be possible without the support of the communities around us. That's why we've always believed in using our platform to make a positive impact.

Our partnership with Feeding Texas is a natural extension of that belief. Feeding Texas is the largest hunger-relief organization in the state, working to provide nutritious food to families in need through a network of 21 food banks. Their mission to address food insecurity aligns with our core values, and we're proud to be part of the fight against hunger.

Why It Matters
As a brewery, we know that we have a unique opportunity to bring people together. By working with Feeding Texas, we're able to combine our passion for craft beer with a cause that truly matters. Hunger is an issue that affects every community in Texas, and we're proud to do our part to help address it.

Every pint we pour, every beer we brew, and every event we host is an opportunity to give back. And when you choose to drink Real Ale, you're not just supporting our brewery—you're helping us make a real, tangible impact in the fight against hunger.

Join Us in the Fight Against Hunger
We're incredibly proud of our partnership with Feeding Texas, but there's still so much more to be done. Every donation, every volunteer hour, and every beer enjoyed brings us one step closer to a Texas where no one has to worry about where their next meal is coming from.

So, the next time you raise a glass of Real Ale, know that you're not just enjoying a craft beer—you're supporting a cause that's close to our hearts. Together, we can help make Texas a better place for everyone.

Badge Criteria: Check in one (1) of these Real Ale Brewing beers: Axis IPA, Hans' Pils, Firemans #4 Blonde Ale, and Devil's Backbone Belgian-style Tripel anytime from November 18, 2024 through December 18, 2024.

Becoming a Trappist takes a certain special something.

Rule 2 – Production is carried out by or under the supervision of the monks.
Rule 3 – The proceeds are dedicated to serve the needs of the monastic community, to solidarity within the Trappist order, project development and charities.
