Beer Tip: Left Hand Warrior IPA

After nearly 3 weeks of no beer tasting with my glut-for-punishment neighbors, I decided to torture them with a mega pouring that cleared my beer fridge of a half dozen high gravity 22oz bombers and a growler (half gallon) of Rogue Dead Guy Ale.
As you can probably imagine, the night ended rather comically. One neighbor, after barely finding his way home, prayed to the porcelain gods so passionately—he admits it would be easier to repaint his bathroom walls than to clean them.
The other neighbor, who I’m surprised actually found his way home, was awoken the next morning by his screaming, hormone-enraged pregnant wife. He was passed out butt naked on the cold living room floor.
The good news, besides waking fully clothed with liver intact after this blurry-eyed drunk fest, I discovered Left Hand Warrior, a brilliant fresh-hopped IPA.
Brewed with true Left Hand philosophy in mind, this seasonal full-bodied, bronzed beauty is brewed with a strong malt foundation that complements its bright floral hoppiness, that comes from a mixture of Colorado-grown Cascade hops and varieties from the brewery’s own hop fields.
