Left Hand Good JuJu reappears in cans this spring

Left Hand Good JuJu, the brewery’s crisp, ginger forward offering, will be available in cans in 2017.

In the fall of 2016, Left Hand Brewing released Milk Stout and Fade to Black in cans for the first time. The canned format is quite popular, prompting the Colorado based brewery to expand canned offerings in 2017.

RELATED: Left Hand Les Quatre Series

In 2013, Left Hand Good JuJu’s recipe was tweaked to include a heavy dose of ginger. You can thank the acquisition of an industrial juicer for that change.

A little Juju voodoo – fresh ginger kisses the lithe malty body, copulating with the hop in this pale ale ancestor.

Expect 12 ounce cans of Left Hand Good JuJu on shelves nationally in May, 2017

Style: Herb/Spice Ale (w/ Ginger)
Hops: Centennial, US Goldings and Sterling
Malts: Pale 2-row, Munich, Crystal and Flaked Barley

Left Hand is introducing new “Les Quatre” saison series in 2017

Colorado based Left Hand Brewing is introducing a new saison series dubbed “Les Quatre” in 2017.

This fall, the brewery introduced 12 ounce cans for the first time, starting with Milk Stout, Fade to Black and Extrovert IPA. Next year, the brewery will add 16 ounce cans to the lineup, as well as a new series of seasonal saisons.

Each release will debut with the turning the season, brewed with local Colorado ingredients. Saison au Miel, brewed with wildflower honey will be first.

Other saisons will include Saison au Bledeminuit (brewed with midnight wheat), Saison Au Genievre (with juniper berries), and Saison Aux Baies Ameres (with chokeberries). Chokeberries, often called aronia berries, are very distinct in flavor, often described as sour and slightly bitter. The result will most likely be quite a memorable saison.

Expect the first Left Hand Les Quatre Series release to debut in March, 2017 in 16 ounce cans (4 packs).
