Hi all, Does anyone have tips on where/when I can find Lawson's Sip of Sunshine in Connecticut? I read that they are distributing there now, but couldn't find much detail on which liquor stores receive it and when, if they have bottle/can limits per person, and how quickly they might sell out. Any tips are much appreciated! - Jonah
It comes out about twice per month, I have not seen it hit shelves anywhere, you need to ask. It has been on tap at many different bars and restaurants in the New Haven area. It is delicious.
It goes out evert two weeks or so. And store are getting more and more with each delivery. Ive heard of places just leaving the cases out now. All the big stores get it. Mine used to sell out in a day, now they still have some from the Monday shipment. You do still have to ask at a lot of places, but you dont need to be a regular anymore I don't think.

Here's the exhaustive list for Fairfield County that I got directly from the distributor before it hit shelves. Note: you will probably need to buddy up to one of these guys and ask them to tuck some away for you. CENTRAL PACKAGE [2308] 211 GREENWOOD AVENUE BETHEL NUTMEG DISCOUNT [3412] 281 GREENWOOD AVE.

Any chance someone could list the places I can get Lawson's from the Massachusetts border down to Hartford. I'd be willing to make the drive from Albany (where I live) to see if I could score a case.
You won't get a case in CT. May be more worth your while to go north to VT from Albany. There is a lot more SOS sitting on shelves up there based on my last trip to VT.
This. Alot of us locals have been using this thread to post sightings. There is now a few threads, but this one has alot of info and is a good one to watch True, SOS does sit on the shelves longer in VT. But CT gets ALOT, and if you are looking on the right day it isnt to hard to get a case if you either put the time in, or know what stores have loose limits. OP- its all about timing, if you know what day to look for sip, it is easy to find. Keep checking the threads and be on the lookout next week or the week after, good luck.
