From Left Hand Brewing:
(LONGMONT, CO) – Left Hand Brewing Company is proud to announce the 2nd annual release of Homefront IPA, just in time for summer 2014! The American IPA is a collaborative beer produced by nine U.S. breweries to raise money & awareness for Operation Homefront, a national non-profit providing emergency assistance to military families and wounded warriors. Homefront IPA will be sold nationally with all proceeds from beer sales going to local OH field offices.
Originally developed in 2011 by Fremont Brewing Co. and Center of the Universe Brewing Co., Homefront IPA will be released by 11 total breweries this year: Left Hand Brewing Co., Cigar City, Perennial Artisan Ales, Sly Fox, St. Arnold’s, 21st Amendment, Palmetto, Maui and Stone. The American IPA is aged on Louisville Slugger maple bats and infused with orange zest. Biscuit, honey, and grapefruit pith notes will play on your tongue, followed by a memorable dry, bitter finish. The Left Hand edition of Homefront IPA could not be possible without a variety of donors: Hops Direct (hops), Cargill (malt), OI and Tricor Braun (bottles), DWS (labels), and Moxie Sozo (label design). Left Hand is the only participating Colorado brewery and will contribute 56 barrels to be sold in 22oz bottles and on draft.
In 2013, Left Hand raised $18,148 for the Operation Homefront Rocky Mountains Office. Left Hand Brewing Co. is proud to express our gratitude and give back to our service members who put the needs of our nation before their own. Salute our service men & women with a pint of Homefront IPA this May!
