Longmont, Colorado-based Left Hand Brewing Company, industry pioneers in Nitro beer styles and technology, is debuting a new Nitro seasonal, Gettin’ Tiki With It. The Piña Colada Wheat Ale is 7.5 percent ABV.
“Our brewing team continues to push the boundaries of Nitro beer with cocktail-inspired recipes,” said Jill Preston, Left Hand’s director of marketing. “After the success of White Russian Nitro last fall, our brewers got together and experimented further. The goal was to create a fruit-forward and refreshing spring and summer seasonal that captured the flavors of an island getaway.”
Gettin’ Tiki With It is packed with pineapple and coconut. Sabro hops complement the tropical fruit flavors and the addition of lactose accentuates the “super smooth” Nitro mouthfeel, according to the company.
“It’s the perfect tropical treat,” said Preston.
To celebrate the debut of its newest beer while also prioritizing health & safety, Left Hand is taking the release party on-line.
“Join our virtual vacation,” said Natalie Gula, Left Hand’s Tasting Room General Manager. “Our Tiki Party will be livestreamed from the Left Hand Brewing Facebook page, featuring guest appearances by Co-Founder & President Eric Wallace as well as the brewers behind this luxurious Nitro ale.”
The virtual release party will be held on Friday, May 8, at 4:30 p.m. MST.
“We’re celebrating together once Gettin’ Tiki With It begins to hit shelves across the country,” said Gula. “We want our fans to have the time to safely procure a can and then come and escape with us.”
In 2011, Left Hand made history, pioneering the way for beer drinkers to enjoy a draft-like experience at home with the release of its flagship Milk Stout Nitro bottles and the hard pour. In 2017, Left Hand performed the first ever U.S. production run of a U.S-made Nitro widget can from Ball Corporation.
