Imbibers of the Month
Left Hand has an amazing group of regulars (almost 200) that help make the warm, welcoming, and relaxed vibe that is, The Tasting Room. Every member was invited; some have been members for over 10 years, while others just came on in January. That said, every month we like to bring to attention those guests that went above and beyond the call of duty over the last 30 days. This month it gives me great pleasure to welcome back a veteran, Mr. Paul T., and introduce a newbie, Ms. Laura. Paul has been Imbiber of the Month every year now, since I can remember and if I had to choose an Imbiber of the Year, he’d be on that short list. Thanks Paul. Laura is warm, genuine, and she truly makes Left Hand a little easier on the eyes. Sorry Paul! Her handsome son, Caleb, is a treat to have around, and we’re thrilled to have them both. So, raise your glass with me and help me in congratulating Paul and Laura for earning the distinguishing title of Imbiber of the Month. Cheers!

Teacher Appreciation Day
Every year we like to thank those beautiful people that work so hard and often get over looked. We’re celebrating Teacher Appreciation Day on Friday, May 7th with buy 1 get 1 beers for those responsible for making Longmont a little brighter. We’d also like to extend our gratitude and drink specials toward secretaries, assistants, coaches, janitors, and anyone else that helps make education happen.

Mother’s Day with Chocolate and Beer
There are two extra yummy days at Left Hand Brewing each year. Every Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day, Vanessa of Desiderio Chocolates, here in Longmont, shares her elegant, decadent, and incredibly beautiful pieces of chocolate love with us. Alas, Sunday, May 9th is Mother’s Day and we’ll be pairing 3 of her chocolates with 3 tasters of our beers. Get here early, as we typically sell out in the first few hours.

400 Pound Monkey Pair and Share
Every few months we like to test the culinary skills of our guests with a beer and food pairing competition that we call a Pair and Share. The beer rotates each time and this time it will be our 400 Pound Monkey IPA. All you have to do is think of and create a thoughtful dish that pairs particularly well with our 400 Pound Monkey IPA, bring enough to share with at least 10 people, submit it to our panel of judges at 6pm, then standby for the award ceremony. First, second, and third place take home beer, but everyone has fun. See you with your delicious grub on Thursday, May 13th.

Ales4FemAles
Left Hand Brewing has been hosting a beautiful event every month for years now. Every month Cinzia Wallace and Sue Smith-Troy bring in over 100 ladies in a club focused on beer education for women, by women. Every meeting the ladies learn about beer, drink beer, pair beer with food, and spend time with other like-minded ladies. This month, the ladies will meet on Monday, May 3rd and Monday, May 17th. The events are always booked with a waitlist, so reach out to ales4females@gmail.com to get more info and to get on the list.
