LONGMONT, Colo.—This May, Left Hand Brewing Co. is all about the IPA! Fresh off their release of their new Introvert Session IPA, Left Hand brings back the return of their biennial Twin Sisters Double IPA and military brewing collaboration Homefront IPA, just in time for summer 2015! Both beers will be released in 22oz. bombers alongside Introvert sixpacks, offering fans an IPA adventure from double hop intensity to a laid back session.
Left Hand’s Double IPA offering is an expression of duality, showcasing the complexity of the ingredients, yet harmonious balance of the hops & malts. Twin Sisters grabs your nose upfront with its sweet pine and citrusy aromas. Flinty hop flavors take you from dreaming about wildflower honey to the tongue awakening Earthy, bitter hop resins that swirl in to finish. Balanced with a robust, earthy backbone, Twin Sisters is incredibly drinkable and approachable for a double IPA – a signature of Left Hand Brewing Company’s style.
Homefront IPA has been released just in time for Memorial Day! Homefront is an American IPA with biscuit, honey, and grapefruit pith notes, followed by a memorable dry, bitter finish. The beer is a collaboration produced by Hops for Heroes – ten U.S. breweries working together to raise funds and say “thank you” to all of the men and women who dedicate themselves to protecting our safety and our way of life. This year, Homefront IPA will benefit Soldiers’ Angels, an organization whose mission is to ensure that “No soldier goes unloved.” Soldiers’ Angels provides aid and comfort to the men and women of the United States Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, their families, and a growing veteran population. All proceeds from the sale of Homefront IPA will go directly to the cause. Left Hand’s Homefront offering has raised over $39K for military causes in its first two years of participation.
