1st Annual Back to School Bash

Founded in 1993, Left Hand Brewing got its name from Chief Niwot (meaning left-handed), an Arapaho chief who wintered his tribe in the Boulder Valley area of Colorado. Since its creation, the brewery has continued to uphold its core values to cultivate long-term service and passion for both their brews and their community.

Proudly employee owned and independent, Left Hand is also known for its foundation, which supports arts and cultural activities, medical research, housing projects, community support groups, and includes an emergency response team.

You can often find live local music and other events happening at the brewery. Check their Facebook page or their website for a full list of their events.
