Beer Specials for September
Imperial Stout pours just $3.25 all month

New Beers
I can’t believe we have an actual list of new beers that have come out since last month. I can set up an entire flight of new releases. Here you go.
Bard’s Ale: English Mild Ale
Oxymoron: Teutonic India Pale Lager (Collaboration brew with Terrapin Brewing)
Starksky and Scotch: Scotch Ale (Pro-Am submission for the GABF)
Twin Sisters: Double IPA

More Beer
As if 4 new releases weren’t enough, we are bringing back Real Ale Wednesday. Look for a 5 gallon pin of cask conditioned, unfiltered, naturally carbonated, and dry hopped liquid happiness every Wednesday. Get here early, as these pins have been known to empty within an hour.

Great American Beer Festival…Even More Beer!
How did it happen? Didn’t the summer just start? I swear they are pushing that beer festival earlier and earlier every year. That’s right folks, its GABF season and that means GOOD TIMES for everyone. We have new beers, vintage beers, and fun events lined up for the week of September 13th to 19th. Here’s a tasting of what we’ll have on tap. Some of them are just individual kegs that will blow in only a few hours.

2009 Snowbound Winter Ale
2009 Widdershins Brandy Barrel Aged Barley Wine-Style Ale
2009 Fade to Black Export Stout
2010 Twin Sisters Double IPA
2010 Oktoberfest
2010 Starksy and Scotch
2010 Oxymoron India Pale Lager

Farmer’s Market at Left Hand Brewing
Have you been to our farmer’s market yet? Every Wednesday in the parking lot here at Left Hand, we have a great group of local musicians jamming for us and several local farmers selling their freshly harvested fruits and veggies. Thanks to Dew Farms, Guerrilla Farms, Frog Star Farms, and Bluegrass Bob and Friends for giving folks in Longmont a chance to drink, listen, and eat local. The market kicks off at 5pm.

Oktoberfest Party
Every year the Oktoberfest party at Left Hand is a guaranteed good time. We’ll have our seasonal favorite on tap, German food, great music, and maybe even some lederhosen and bundhosen. Join us as we bid “Auf Wiedersehen” to the last of our Oktoberfest brew. Prost!

Imbiber of the Month
This month I have the pleasure of honoring a guest that just makes the Left Hand Tasting Room a little bit more special. Angie Lox (aka Angelique & Queen) is a cool cat. She is funny, she has a great laugh, and the bar is a little warmer when she is there. Angie Lox hasn’t been a member for too long, but we love having her here. You can easily spot Angie Lox, as she will be the young lady holding a giant 25 ounce mug of beer…obviously. Our “Imbibers of the Month” drink out of that crazy King’s Cup all month long.

Indian Peaks Alers
If you’re reading this post, you’re probably a beer geek. You like beer a little more than your average Joe, and you may have even considered making your own brew. Well, we have a great club that has been meeting once a month at Left Hand for years now. The Indian Peaks Alers is Longmont’s Homebrew Club comprised of newbie homebrewers and nationally recognized, award winning homebrewers that talk, taste, judge, and teach beer the 2nd Wednesday of the month in our Tasting Room. Their next meeting is on September 8th. For information send an email to ipa.pres@gmail.com.

Dog Wash
Every summer we do a series of Dog Wash events that benefit the Longmont Humane Society. There’s brats and beer, soap and hoses, nail trims and micro-chipping. The proceeds go to a great cause and you get a clean pooch. Join us on Sunday, September 12th from 11am to 3pm for our next event.

Ales4FemAles
Twice a month the Left Hand Tasting Room hosts a beer club for women called Ales4FemAles. The meetings are focused on learning about beer, learning styles of beer, learning how to pair beer with food, and pretty much anything involving beer. Cinzia and Sue have been booked for almost every event in the last two years, so reach out to ales4females@gmail.com to get more info and to get on the list. The September meetings are on Monday, September 13th and Monday, September 20th.
