With 2020, an unprecedented year, nearing its run, Longmont, Colorado-based Left Hand Brewing Company has announced its 2021 beer lineup.

And we’ve got to admit that it’s pretty damned impressive.

Packed with 12 new beers plus the long-anticipated return of two fan favorites, Left Hand’s updated roster, leans heavily into what they’re most widely known for, nitro beers.

But that’s just the beginning of they’ve got planned for the coming year…

Limited and Seasonal Nitro

Famous for its Nitro Series, Left Hand Brewing launched Milk Stout Nitro in 2011 and introduced the first nitro widget in the US, into its packaging line, in 2017. And in 2021 the brewery is enriching its seasonal nitro offerings…

• Rich and robust, Left Hand’s first seasonal offering of the year is Bittersweet Nitro Imperial Coffee Milk Stout. A special blend of dark roast coffee weaves rich berry notes with spicy undertones into the 8.9% Imperial Milk Stout. Bittersweet Nitro is the single most requested archive beer from Left Hand, inspiring a social media campaign by fans for the brewery to re-release the brand. Previously only available in bottles, Bittersweet Nitro will be available in 4-packs of 13.65oz widget cans in 2021.
• Key Lime Pie Nitro is a 7.3% sour ale with lactose and lime, vanilla and cinnamon. Super smooth and silky, the beer is modeled after the citrusy, velvety dessert. Tartness and baking spice combine with a creamy Nitro mouthfeel, each sip mimicking a spoonful of Key Lime Pie. This limited time Nitro beer ships this May in 4-packs of 13.65oz widget cans.
• Also new in Nitro seasonals this year is Black Forest Nitro. Real cherries and chocolate combine with a rich roasted malt backbone, reminiscent of a Black Forest cake. This Cherry Chocolate Stout comes to market in Q4 in 4-packs of 13.65oz widget cans.
• Gettin’ Tiki With It Nitro will return in the spring and White Russian Nitro abides again in late summer, rounding out the Nitro seasonal lineup.

Seasonal CO2

Left Hand’s additions to the CO2 seasonal lineup include Found Fortune Double IPA in January, Moscow Mule Pale Ale in the spring and S’mores Milk Stout in late fall.

• Found Fortune showcases El Dorado hops, inspiring its name. The 8.7% Double IPA is dry-hopped with El Dorado, Galaxy, and Citra, resulting in a wealth of candied orange, juicy tropical fruits, and notes of fresh-squeezed grapefruit.
• Moscow Mule Pale Ale is crisp and effervescent at 5.5% with a refreshing burst of lime and a spicy ginger kick, delivering the vibrant flavors of the classic cocktail with the body and hop benefits you can only experience in a beer
• S’mores Milk Stout heralds Left Hand’s first new Milk Stout variant planned for 2021. Their classic recipe meets your favorite campfire treat in this Milk Stout with marshmallows and spices hitting shelves late fall.
• The brewery’s renowned and popular Oktoberfest Märzen completes the lineup and all four seasonal CO2 beers will be available in 6-packs of 12oz cans.

One of the nation’s Top-50 craft breweries, and certainly one of the most honored having wan 29 Great American Beer Festival medals,11 World Beer Cup awards and 9 European Beer Star awards, Left Hand Brewing’s collection of year-round and seasonal beers are available in 45 states, DC and internationally.
