Beer drinkers, prepare for lift-off. The sunshine-makers at Lawson’s Finest Liquids have launched their newest interstellar brew, Cosmic Shift IPA (6.2% ABV)—and it’s not just delicious, it’s doing some serious good across the galaxy (well, mostly the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic).

This is the first time Lawson’s “Good Brew for a Cause” initiative is expanding beyond its Vermont roots, and it’s going big—supporting 10 nonprofit organizations across 9 states with help from the brewery’s distribution partners in each location.
What Is Cosmic Shift IPA?
Cosmic Shift IPA is a juicy, hop-forward IPA brewed with the expressive, bold flavors that fans of Lawson’s Finest have come to expect—especially from the minds behind Sip of Sunshine. It’s a brew that promises to take your tastebuds on a voyage through tropical hop galaxies.
“Cosmic Shift is something truly special,” said Adeline Druart, CEO of Lawson’s Finest. “It captures everything we love about hops—bold, juicy, expressive flavor and aroma—and channels it into something even bigger. Every sip helps support vibrant communities and meaningful causes across the Northeast.”
Doing Good With Every Sip
For each state Cosmic Shift reaches, a portion of proceeds will benefit a local nonprofit, with distribution partners matching the donations. That’s double the impact—straight from your pint glass to the people and causes that need it most.
