I'm stoked that Left Hand Brewing Company has come back to us here in the UK from the mile-high land of Colorado. I discovered Left Hand years ago because, as a proud Southpaw, I couldn't not try a brewery so aptly named. At the time I was only interested in very malt-forward beers as I hadn't yet grown to like the bitter aspect of beer. Imagine my pseudo-cool-girl-trying-to-impress-the-guys delight when a glistening Left Hand Milk Stout tap handle appeared and time stood still. I remember my first impression like it was yesterday. Creamy. Chocolate. Coffee. The smoothest stout that I had ever had. I didn't know what a "milk stout" was. Figured it had something to do with the creaminess or was a gimmick or they had a special affinity for the cows on the label. Nevertheless, for a long time I declared that my favorite style of beer was a stout simply because of my memory of Left Hand's Milk Stout. To this day I know Left Hand as one of those breweries

To this day I know Left Hand as one of those breweries that--if you didn't recognize or fancy anything else and were looking for something you'd trust--would perpetually (perennially even?!) be a solid choice. But with their innovative Nitro-series, seasonals, and limited editions alongside the perennial range they prove that they're anything but an ol'-standby. These guys are great!
The Nitro series is really exciting. Left Hand, after years of trial-and-error, finally mastered the art of conditioning beer with nitrogen as opposed to carbon dioxide. And all this without the use of a widget (which are ubiquitous in the cans of a certain Dublin-based dark beer.) It had truly never been done before with success. The result is an exceptionally creamy beer with a beautiful head that looks like a milkshake. And you thought I was in love with the Milk Stout? Well, hel-lo Milk Stout Nitro. You gorgeous thing.
I know I yammered on and on about Left Hand's stouts, but I've got to give a shoutout to their Stranger Pale Ale too: aromas of orange alongside a fresh hoppiness that comes across as florals and cut grass are mirrored in a flavor that is bolstered by biscuity and toasted malts. It's the champion of nuance--it's lovely!
It goes without saying that I'm super excited that we at Beer Hawk--and only Beer Hawk--are now carrying a good chunk of Left Hand's Perennial Range. Our exclusive Left Hand mixed case is a great way to try all we've got but singles are available too. With this great American brewery back in the UK, I've been able to re-live "X" number of years ago. And I've been forcing people to give me left-handed high fives all week!

We have some important and exciting news from our Managing Director, Matt Lane:
Over the last few months, we’ve spent a lot of time speaking to members of our PerfectDraft community about loyalty & rewards.
Something we’re really passionate about is rewarding our most loyal customers and you’ve given us some great feedback and ideas on how we can do this.
We’re now excited to announce the launch of our ‘Spring Rewards’ program.
During pregnancy, it is recommended to a pregnant woman not to eat any raw or semi-cooked food such as meat, fish, cold meats and certain types of cheese. And above all, smoking and drinking alcohol should be stopped.
In recent years, alcohol-free beer has become a real trend in the beer market here in the UK. More and more big beer brands and small craft breweries are starting to brew it to the delight of non-alcoholic drinkers. However, there are many questions about this kind of beer.
We’re back for the second edition of ‘Must Try Kegs’. Last week we spotlighted three fantastic kegs from our MultiTRY range and this week is no different. From a personal favourite lager of mine, to a couple of flavour sensations, take a read through why we think you have to try these three.
