Farmer’s Market at Left Hand Brewing
Left Hand Brewing is putting together Longmont’s only Wednesday Farmer’s Market. We’ll be hosting local farmers, vendors, bakers, and musicians in our parking lot on Wednesday evenings from 5pm to 7pm. Local food, local music, and local beer…that is sweet. Look for the market to continue through the summer. See you there.

Imbiber of the Month
Alright, who is it going to be this month? Our Imbiber of the Month is that person that showed special attention to the Left Hand Tasting Room during the previous month. Typically, the Imbiber of the Month visits the Tasting Room every single day during that month and we think that is pretty sweet. In order to thank them for their dedication, we put their photo on our wall of fame and offer them the 25oz mighty “King’s Cup” for the month. This month I get to send out a special “shot out” to not one, but two of our guests. Both Amy “Boudicca” and Greg H came in everyday during June. Amy is a returning champion whose husband said, “It’s a lot of work to support Amy during this month. I feel like I’m doing the work.” For Greg H, who received the coveted title for the first time, the month was extra easy for him, since his favorite beer, Black Jack Porter, was discounted all month. Thanks Amy and Greg. You both rock!

Indian Peaks Alers
If you’re reading this newsletter, 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. 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 July 14that 6pm and they’re focusing this meeting on all things mead. 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, July 18th from 11am to 3pm for our next event.

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, July 5th and Monday, July 19th. 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.

Our Week in Random Photos


I thought I'd share with you what we've been up to lately through some random photographs that I've taken.

These are my favorite sandals that I wear every day...

Can you tell???? {Please ignore the desperately in need of a pedicure toes!}

This butterfly we ran into during one of our walks... I have never seen one like it before, nor have I seen one since. I love the green color and the fuzzy

Happy 4th of July!


Back when I lived in Munich in the 80's the American military community would put on the "Little o' fest" this time of year. It was a great summer time beer fest to celebrate U.S. independence day. You could just as easily drink Spaten or Budweiser, and there were German om-pa bands, along with American rock, country, or R&B bands. You could eat tasty German food, or feast on hamburgers and cheap ice cream from the U.S. commissary. Good times!
