Greetings to all. this week i'd like to tell you about Left Hand brewing out of Colorado. They make a wide range of beers directed to certain tastes. They have a beer called Fade to Black. Another called Good Juju. And they also have the 400 pound monkey Good Juju resembles a good spiked Ginger Ale. Its brewed with ginger and has a remarkable smoothness that is unmistakable. It goes down really smooth and is not bitter at all. If you like Ginger ale or Ginger beer your going to like this beer. Its not to strong. This beer really impressed me. I didn't think i was going to like it at first, but the more i tasted it the more i started to like it. By the time i got to the end of my glass i was left wanting more. Just like Dogfishead's 60 min IPA. all though they are two completely different brews they both left me wanting more. Now that's both good and bad. If you have good will power you can limit yourself to only two or three and that seemed enough to me. I got to the end of my third glass and knew that i had had enough. The ginger is very subtle and delicate. however there is a little bite to it. like a good spiced Ginger Ale. left Hand Brewing also has an IPA called The Warrior. I haven't tried it yet but i've heard good things about it. Now i forget which indian the Brewery is named after but the name is taken from an old Indian chief. Once i do a little more research i will write about it or if you like just Google Left Hand brewing and you can read it. The 400 hundred pound monkey was a little to malty for my taste. But i drank it down anyway. Its kind of sweet and doesn't have to much of an after taste. Still it has its good qualities. Fade to Black is a dark ale that resembles a stout but it is an AWESOME beer. I think its seasonal but if you can find it i highly recommend it. Stop in at the Epicurean and pick up a six pack and i promise you wont be disappointed. That's it for now so until next time CHEERS.

Hey Larry,
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you jumped on board w/ the Phoenix. Beer is very important to lots of people and I appreciate your insight. There's so many beers out there, half the time trying a new type can be a tough call. Great stuff so far and keep up the good work!
