Left Hand Happy Tail Benefits Humane Society

 

Happy Tail Ale is a special package for Left Hand Brewing’s Sawtooth Ale proceeds from the sales donated to Longmont Humane Society.  The bottles are raffled off at their annual shelter benefit.  October 8th, 2011 marks the 27th time the event is held.  Also, last week Left Hand took part in a dog wash benefit.  Brewery peeps joined Humane Society members to wash and brush dogs, trim nails and grill out.

A “Beer To Keep” From Left Hand

Left Hand Brewing has a new draft offering on the way, Biere De Garde.  This “beer to keep” is a draft only offering.  It was the winning entry in a Colorado Home Brew competition.  The winning entry gets to brew the recipe on a professional system.

Hops: Proprietary
Malts:  Pilsner, Munich, Dark Munich, CaraVienne, Aromatic, Biscuit
Yeast: French Ale Yeast

Tasting notes (Per LH): Pours with an off white dense head capping amber liquid with orange highlights. Warm malt notes  of toffee, caramel and graham cracker. Tropical fruity aromas appear with further sniffing. First taste is of rich maltiness segueing to candied fruit and a dry, slightly bitter finish. Alcohol warmth tries to poke through the sweetness.

Availability: Limited, Draft only.

8.2% ABV

Judging A Book (Beer) By It’s Cover

OC Weekly just put out it’s Top 10 best beer labels from around the world.  There are some surprises on the list.  I’m not surprised by Left Hand Brewing making it, nor The Bruery.  It was nice to see Red Brick make the cut.  The Grimm Brothers beers are quite sexy too.  Got a favorite that didn’t make this list? Check out the 10 Ten at OC.  [OCWeekly, via @oboudreaux ]

Midnight Project “Peotch” Soon

Peaches

It’s almost time for Midnight Project #4 – the collaborative project between Terrapin & Left Hand Brewing.  As mentioned before, this years edition features peaches! From Terrapin’s recent newsletter:

The magic between Terrapin and Left Hand began in 2008 after a beer festival, around midnight, when the two companies decided to do an annual collaborative brew. This July we are once again teaming up to create the next volume of the Midnight Project series. This year’s collaboration has an agricultural theme featuring a product both states are known for…peaches! The ‘Peaotch‘ is a peachy ale that is sure to please.

Ro Guenzel from Left Hand was in Athens, GA the last week of July to brew the new fuzzy ale.  Finishing the trip at Brick Store Pub, the birthplace of the project of course.

Arrival: TBD

“Peotch” joins Terra-Rye’ZD, Depth Charge, & Oxymoron in the series

Preliminary Details: Terrapin/Left Hand Midnight Project 2011

NOTE: These details are subject to change.

Terrapin Brewing & Left Hand Brewing are about to embark on their 4th brew in the Midnight Project Collaboration Series.  Each year, the location of the brew switch from brewery to brewery.  Year 1: Longmont. Beer: Terra-Rye’Zd  Year 2: Athens. Beer: Depth Charge.  Year 3: Longmont. Beer: Oxymoron.

This year’s edition will be brewed in July sometime in Athens, Georgia.  Here are some tentative details.  Peaches.  A mixture of both Colorado & Georgia peaches.  Style, other ingredients and such have yet to be decided.  That’s what getting together over beers is for. (Hey, that’s where the series started right??)

The name they are working on is awesome. Pea-och.  (That’s my spelling, but sound it out. That’s what they are going for.)

Again, brew day is in July sometime. Also in July is this year’s Reunion release with Shmaltz Brewing & Alan Shapiro.

Other Terrapin News, the brewery is currently installing more conditioning tanks. (Image below). Saturday June 18th is the brewery’s “Brewau,” 5:30-7:30pm

RUMOR: Terrapin/Left Hand Midnight Project #4

Terrapin & Left Hand Brewing are already talking about the 4 edition of their Midnight Project collaboration series.  The series, started in 2008 – was purported to have been born out of a late night chat at the Brick Store Pub in Decatur, GA.  3 beers have been made since that infamous chat – Terra -rye’Zd, Depth Charge, and Oxymoron.

Beer #4 will is tentatively scheduled to be brewed in July 2011.  This edition is brewed at Terrapin this year, with peaches are being discussed as the ingredient of choice.  Name? While not set in stone, “Fuzzy Wuzzy” is a potential.

Still all the the planning stage & subject to change.  Midnight Sessions #4 is planned for a Fall, 2011 arrival.
