LONGMONT, CO • October 14, 2014 – Left Hand Brewing is proud to present Nitro Fest – the first exclusively nitrogenated beer fest this November 15th from 3-7pm at Left Hand Brewing Company in Longmont, Colorado. Nitro Fest will feature 21 of the best breweries from across the US pouring rare, never-before-seen nitro styles in celebration of Left Hand’s 21st birthday. Nitro Fest will be a lavish evening, pairing smooth & creamy ales with live performance art and fresh fare. Tickets are $50 for 4 hours of all-you-can drink nitro craft beers from the best breweries across The States. Event proceeds will benefit the Left Hand Brewing Foundation.
Famous for their Nitro series including Milk Stout Nitro, Left Hand is eager to showcase a wide offering of nitrogenated beer from the craft community. Nitro Fest guests can sample hard to find styles from out of state breweries including Founders, Cigar City, Dogfish Head, Firestone Walker, Victory, Green Flash, and more. “Some of these beers will be nitrogenated for the first time, and many do not make it out of their home brewery tap room. This will be a truly unique opportunity for craft beer fans to get their hands on exclusive styles from widely acclaimed breweries.” comments Josh Goldberg, Community & Event Manager. Representing the Colorado front, will bring local presence from Oskar Blues, Breckenridge, New Belgium, Odell and more. The first annual Nitro Fest will also commemorate Left Hand’s 21st birthday, inviting guests to imbibe under a vast tent with live performance art including fire dancers, stilt walkers and aerial artists.
Left Hand has helped popularized the nitrogenated category with their Nitro series collection including Milk Stout Nitro, Sawtooth Nitro, and Wake Up Dead Nitro. The addition of Nitrogen to a beer gives way to much smaller bubbles and a gentler texture, creating a smoother and creamier experience. “We’re excited that nitrogenated beers are growing in popularity, and believe we’ve played a big role in making that a reality over the years. We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate that fact – along with it being our 21st birthday – then welcoming so many of our brewery friends to Longmont for Nitro Fest!” comments Chris Lennert, VP of Operations.
