In 1986, Harpoon co- founders Rich Doyle and Dan Kenary began brewing Harpoon in Boston to share with others the joy of making—and drinking—great beer. In 2000, we added a second brewery in Windsor, VT to keep up with the demand. We are passionate about our company and our beer, and we work each day together to create great beer drinking experiences. This passion has resulted in many changes throughout the years including our most recent announcement in August of 2014 to become an employee owned company. Though many things have changed since the early days of Harpoon, most things have stayed the same. We still love brewing beer and find that we enjoy it more when shared with friends.
Harpoon has over 300 employees who understand that making great beer fun can be more challenging – and more rewarding - than it seems. We do things a bit differently here; different from other companies in general and different from most of our fellow brewers. Different in this case does not mean more complex or harder to understand. Because we also believe in being simple and straightforward. We have a very short list of ‘philosophies’ that underline how we run our business:
• Treat others as we would like to be treated ourselves.
• Work like an owner and think like a customer.
• Make great beer and revel in it or as we say to the rest of the world: Love Beer. Love Life.
We love the beer we brew, and we love drinking it together. We’re looking for people who share a commitment to excellence and a sense of humor to join our growing team.
Lawson's Finest Liquids is a B Corp Certified craft brewery in Waitsfield, Vermont, brewing world-class IPAs and unique maple brews for all beer lovers near and far.
Every beer we make is cold stored, cold shipped, and cold shelved, so the finest, freshest quality you taste at our brewery and taproom is the very same as when you enjoy it on your own adventures.
Community is at the heart of what we do. As a B Corp Certified craft brewery, we’re part of a global movement of businesses building a more inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy. Our Social Impact Program (SIP) channels philanthropy and hands-on engagement into four focus areas: healthy communities, natural resource protection, food and economic security, and sustainable recreation.

Inspired by the 273-mile hiking trail that traverses through the Green Mountains, Long Trail Brewing Company has been a caretaker of Vermont craft since 1989.
Like the Ottauquechee River that flows alongside our brewery, we’ve been twisting and turning with the evolving craft beer landscape for more than 25 years, remaining true to our roots with Vermont classics like Long Trail Ale and innovative, hop-drenched offerings like Limbo IPA and our new Trail Hopper IPA; an American IPA with Citra and Simcoe hops that’s built to keep your tastes buds moving from one trail to the next.
Moved and motivated by the local culture and surrounding landscape, our partnerships with The Green Mountain Club, Ski Vermont, Vermont Adaptive Ski & Sports, and The Flyin Ryan Hawks Foundation keep us tied to the close-knit community of outdoor enthusiasts who have supported our journey.
With mountains, malts, and hops on our mind, we work hard to create beers that are worthy of our Vermont roots. From experimental, small-batch recipes developed in our farmhouse-turned-pilot-brewery, to our burgeoning sour and wild fermented ales program, our small team of brewers is committed to crafting a trail-worthy family of beers.
