"Finally made the pilgrimage from NYC to Left Hand Brewing in Longmont Colorado to taste my favorite bottled Stout fresh from the tap. A perfect pour of Nitro Milk Stout from Fabulous Bartender Grant produced a more smooth and creamy consistency than the bottle, much like a Guinness, but the flavor was not much different from a bottle that has traveled all the way to NYC. Amazing!! I don’t know how they produce such a great taste out of the bottle. Thx Team Left Hand! Cheers…… Keep em coming❤️🔥❤️🙏🏻"

"First time visiting Left Hand Brewing Company but it won't be our last. The beer was awesome. The food truck has amazing wings that my compare all other wings to.
The beer is a nice relaxing place that the kids can run around and play cornhole or throw a football or kick a soccer ball."

"Great brewery with TONS of beer selections. A fun, welcoming atmosphere with a moderate sized taproom and a large outdoor venue. The food truck is sneaky good as well. Try the steak and avocado grilled cheese if they have it 🤙"
