Flood Waters Threaten Left Hand Brewing - Colorado Flood Updates

image Update from Left Hand 9/13 10PM EST:

We're still hanging in there! Good news & bad news. Bad news: This view shows the devastation the to the Boston Ave commercial & residential neighborhood. A river is flowing down Boston Ave, providing no access. Both our loading docks & hopgarden are flooded with gate damage. Good news: Limited water infiltration in buildings including brewery & cooler. We have been extremely lucky so far, but are not out of the weeds yet. Our thoughts are with our Longmont & Boulder County neighbors.#COFlood #GodSavetheBeer#ThispostbroughttoyoubyGeneralHospital

I’m sad to report that the severe rain & flooding in Colorado are threatening Left Hand Brewing (among others).  Above is a photo from Left hand showing the St. Vrain relative to the brewery and this update from 18-hours ago:

Crazy perspective of the rising St. Vrain in relation to the brewery. Stay strong Colorado! Thank you to all our service men & women and volunteers.

Update: This image was taken before noon. We are simply hoping for the best now. Thanks for your support.

From Avery on 12 Sep: 

Avery Brewing Company It's pretty

crazy out there and potentially dangerous so we are gonna shut down the Tap Room for today. We'll keep you posted about tomorrow. Stay safe out there Colorado!

UPDATE 9/14 from Avery:  Beers are flowing at the Tap Room once again. The brewery made it through the storm relatively unscathed and we feel very fortunate and grateful right now. Our hearts go out to the thousands across Colorado who have been affected by the storm including many of our own crew. Stay tuned as we organize some fundraising efforts to help our community.

From Upslope: Just to reiterate - we are CLOSED tonight due to weather. Our Pumpkin Ale party will be rescheduled. STAY SAFE, folks!  Hate to break it to ya, folks, but we have decided to close both tap rooms & reschedule our Pumpkin Ale Release Party due to weather & ensuring our fans safety - we will keep you informed on a release party reschedule once we line something up.
