A new IPA from the makers of Sip of Sunshine will give back locally

 

Get ready to shift your go-to IPA! The sunshine-makers at Lawson’s Finest Liquids just released Cosmic Shift IPA (6.2% ABV). Through the B Corp Certified brewery’s Social Impact Program, this otherworldly IPA is a Good Brew for Cause, meaning a portion of the proceeds from every can sold in Western New York will benefit United Way of Greater Rochester and the Finger Lakes.  

Prepare to be starstruck by Cosmic Shift IPA, a juicy, hop-forward new brew from Lawson’s Finest Liquids, the makers of Sip of Sunshine. Pour mindfully, inhale deeply, and blast off into an out-of-this-world IPA experience. 

“Cosmic Shift is something truly special,” said Adeline Druart, CEO of Lawson’s Finest Liquids. “It captures everything we love about hops–bold, juicy, expressive flavor and aroma–and channels it into something even bigger. Through our Social Impact Program, every sip of Cosmic Shift helps support vibrant communities and meaningful causes throughout the Northeast. That’s what makes this beer so out-of-this-world.” 

Cosmic Shift IPA will benefit United Way of Greater Rochester and the Finger Lakes, supporting their work mobilizing their communities to action so all can thrive.  

“We’re thrilled to partner with Lawson’s Finest Liquids on a brew that not only tastes great but does great,” said Teresa O’Loughlin, chief development officer at United Way of Greater Rochester and the Finger Lakes. “Every can of Cosmic Shift IPA sold helps fuel real change for individuals and families across our region. It’s a refreshing way to give back.” 

Donations made by Lawson’s Finest Liquids to United Way of Greater Rochester and the Finger Lakes will be matched by T.J. Sheehan Distributing, the local beer distributor of Lawson’s Finest brews.
