As winter gives way to spring, Lawson’s Finest Liquids has announced the return of Knockout Blonde ale.

This is the first of six specialty beers making a seasonal appearance across the brewery’s full distribution network this year. 

Brewed with a blend of North American malts and with Cascade and Centennial hops, this straw-colored blonde ale is now available at retailers throughout Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island.

“Blonde ales have been getting more and more popular in the past year, and Knockout Blonde is one that we’re always excited to share with the masses,” says Sean Lawson, founder and CEO of Lawson’s Finest Liquids. “It’s light and drinkable but still has its fair share of hop character — and I think it’s the perfect match for these spring temperatures. This beer was inspired by my beautiful wife and business partner, Karen, whose likeness appears on the can artwork in a convertible, with her hair blowing in the wind.”

Knockout Blonde, 5% ABV, has a punch of hop aroma and notes of lemon and lime citrus, the company reports.

“Knockout Blonde is a fun, free-spirited ale that really embodies what we’re all ready for this spring,” says Karen Lawson, co-owner and chief creative officer of Lawson’s Finest Liquids. “The days are getting longer, the weather is warming up, and people are looking forward to enjoying some time outside — and Knockout Blonde captures that spirit.”

Four-packs of Knockout Blonde — whose recipe was created at the original brewery in Warren, VT, over 10 years ago — will release across the region throughout April and May. Afterwards, Lawson’s Finest will move on to distributing its next few specialty beers, Scrag Mountain Pils and Scrag Mountain Pils Salt & Lime.

This follows the recent release of Lawson’s Finest Liquids Super Session #5.
