Left handed

Way back in February while boondocking outside of Ajo, Arizona Kerri and I ate dinner at the 100 Estrella Restaurant (pretty much the only restaurant in Ajo worthy of more than a single star). There, along with our food, she ordered a “Nitro” Milk Stout from the bar which went down something akin to drinking a beer-milkshake; smooth, creamy, and oh so refreshing.

I went as far as to pickup two mason-jars of this same stout so we had some to share in the following days back at camp (it wasn’t as good days old). It was only then that we learned that it was made by Left Hand Brewery based in – now get this – Longmont, Colorado!

Left Hand Brewery made it on our list of must-see places that day and we have been picking up 6-packs ever since. This past week we have been camped only 1 mile away from the brewery, and patiently waiting the day we had scheduled for a visit and tour.  We sampled all the beers they had on tap before setting out with the well-buzzed group for the 45 minute tour. I learned the difference between  “Nitro” and “CO2” beers and why I liked the creamy smooth tastes of the Nitro beers more. Finally, before heading back to camp, we picked up two Left Hand Stout Glasses to remember the day.
