We spoke with Lawson’s Finest Liquids CEO & Founding Brewer Sean Lawson about Double Sunshine Ruby Red Grapefruit.
Who was responsible for this beer’s recipe?
I came up with this one with help from the brewing team.
What sets this beer apart from other examples within the style?
The use of multiple grapefruit sources – dried peel, puree and zest. We use the whole fruit in different ways throughout the brewing process.
What makes this beer truly World Class?
Double Sunshine (the base beer) is one of our most beloved brands. The Ruby Red Grapefruit variation has a strong depth of grapefruit flavor, while maintaining the tie to the original flavor of Double Sunshine.
What is your favorite aspect of this beer (flavor, aroma, mouthfeel, etc.)?
Capturing the whole essence of a fruit that I very much enjoy eating. The aroma hits you right off the bat followed by a full-bodied, full-flavored and unapologetic 8% ABV drinking experience.
How popular is this beer among your faithful fans?
It’s been hugely popular. We’ve released it in limited fashion in the last two years and it’s one of the most sought after and highest selling of our limited items, even when we launch it during the winter months.
