From their website:
Our story started in December of 1990 with a small homebrewers kit. Dick Doore, the co-founder of Left Hand, received the kit as a Christmas present from his brother. According to Dick, it was all downhill from there. His obsession with homebrewing led him back to Colorado in August of 1993, where he met up with a former college buddy and soon-to-be Left Hand co-founder, Eric Wallace.
It didn't take the two long to start brewing beer. Dick had been homebrewing for years, and Eric had traveled extensively internationally, seeking out great beers wherever and whenever he could. After brewing several batches that impressed their friends and lucky neighbors, they became more confident in their craft. It was only after drinking quite a lot of really good dry stout that Eric had brewed that they had their epiphany: Let's start a brewery.
A few weeks later, in September of 1993, we incorporated as Indian Peaks Brewing Company, in honor of the serrated ridges and jagged peaks of the Indian Peaks wilderness that you can see nearby. Then the search for the location was on from Golden to Loveland. In November of that year, home became a former meat packing plant nestled next to the St. Vrain River near downtown Longmont. In just a few weeks, the brewery was starting to take shape, labels were being produced, and kegs and bombers were purchased. The place was hopping. However, the euphoria was quickly sidelined when a conflict of interest surrounding the brewery name surfaced. Indian Peaks was being used by another brewery for a beer style. So, not wanting to start off on the wrong foot, we quickly changed the name of the company to Left Hand, in honor of Chief Niwot, whose tribe wintered in the local area. (The name Left Hand is derived from the southern Arapahoe word Niwot meaning left hand.)
Finally, we opened our doors for business on January 22, 1994. Our first batch of beer was Sawtooth Ale (still kicking after all these years!). It didn't take long for the public to notice that we were brewing great beer. In October of that year, at the Great American Beer Festival, Left Hand took home 2 medals, a Gold Medal in the Bitter Category for Sawtooth Ale, and a Bronze Medal in the Robust Porter Category for Black Jack Porter. We were on our way!
Over the next several years we started to grow. We added people. We added machinery. We added several styles that are still with us today: Good Juju Ale and Wake Up Dead Imperial Stout. And we had a few styles that we remember fondly: Ambidextrous Ale, Motherlode, Maid Marion and Deep Cover Brown Ale. In 1995, we were able to start putting our logo on bottle caps. But when it came down to shrinking down the original logo to put on a crown, you couldn't read it. We created a small hand to be the logo. It morphed into a sticker, and eventually into the company logo as you see it today.
Longmont, Colorado Flooding, 9/13/2013
Video taken from 1st and Grant, looking South toward Left Hand Brewing. I point at the brewery in the video. Fox 31 had just finished up doing a live report. How much water is there usually? The brewery JOKINGLY calls it The Mighty Saint Vrain. It's mostly a stream. Little tiny thing, and it's on THE OTHER SIDE of the brewery.

Left Hand Brewing's Stranger American Pale Ale The Spit or Swallow Beer Review
Shagdog & Jammer are gettin' some strange.
Brewed by: Left Hand Brewing Company Colorado, United States
Sane or senseless? Harmless or harmful? Sometimes it takes awhile to get to know a stranger. Initial impressions are not always reality, so you must delve deeper. Beyond the initial floral hop aromas, malt sweetness is revealed, yet with a spicy undertone that exposes a very rye sense of humor. Take your time to get to know the Stranger. It’s strangely satisfying.

On the first night of the 2011 Great American Beer Festival, Left Hand changed craft beer history forever with the introduction of Milk Stout Nitro in a bottle. Left Hand is both the first American and the first craft brewery to master the science of bottling a Nitrogen beer without a widget. Two years later, we expanded the bottled Nitro series with Sawtooth Nitro and Wake Up Dead Nitro. To our fortunate & delight, the beers have met overwhelming excitement and reception, as fans can now enjoy the draft experience of a Nitro beer from home!
We couldn’t have done it without you. Thanks to all the Left Hand fans around the world. We raise a pint to you and your discriminating palate.
Scores of vultures gather near MD shopping center

ASSOCIATED PRESS - AP CLIENTS ONLY
Upper Marlboro, Maryland - 7 January 2019
1. Various of vultures in trees
2. Vulture on a limb
3. Various of vultures in trees
4. Vultures flying around
5. SOUNDBITE (English) Rodney Taylor, Chief of Prince George's County Animal Services Division:
Well as you can see we have quite a few vultures here in the trees. And what we found is there's a food source that's providing, provided to the vultures as a cat colony is here. So we have several cats where we have a caregiver comes and they feed the cats so the vultures come down the eat the food.
6. Various of woman feeding cats
7. SOUNDBITE (English) Rodney Taylor, Chief of Prince George's County Animal Services Division:
Well you must know that the vultures are federally protected. The Department of Natural Resources is the regulatory agency for wildlife in the state of Maryland. So you just can't come in and catch and you can't kill them you can't move them. So the Department of Natural Resources would have to get involved in that. We have to look at maybe maybe the issue we might want to try to move the colonly to another location where the food source is not here and then the vultures will just move on and go somewhere else.
8. Various of vultures
9. SOUNDBITE (English) Rodney Taylor, Chief of Prince George's County Animal Services Division:
They here, they serve a purpose, as you know the vultures are scavengers. They eat their rotten meat, they will eat all the dead animals on side of the streets, so they do serve a great purpose for my environment. But I mean as a business owner I might have, I may have a problem with landing on my business in you know deterring people from wanting to come in.
10. Various of vultures in trees nearby Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant
11. Vulture perched on KFC building
12. KFC worker sending cat scurrying
13. SOUNDBITE (English) Dorothy Emerson, Co-Manager of KFC, Upper Marlboro:
They have nothing to do with KFC. I mean they're over there on the Weis parking lot and I'm just clean my building every day. I mean. They're not as you can see they're not bothering us. Part of nature.
14. Vulture perched on tree above Weis supermarket building
15. SOUNDBITE (English) Dorothy Emerson, Co-Manager of KFC, Upper Marlboro:
They are just birds. To some people they're very interested but to me it just birds. You know they're not hurting anyone.
16. Vultures on the ground moving around
17. Various of vultures going near cats as they feed
STORYLINE:
Scores of vultures looking for food, can be seen perching near a Maryland shopping center.
Dozens of birds perch are in the trees and scrounging on the ground near the shopping center in Upper Marlboro, Maryland that houses a grocery story and fast-food restaurant.
Rodney Taylor of the Prince George's County animal services division said the vultures appear to be drawn to food left in the woods for feral cats.
They serve a purpose, said Taylor.
As you know the vultures scavengers. They eat their rotten meat, they will eat all the dead animals on side streets, so they do serve a great purpose for my environment.
Taylor says there are limited options to deal with the vultures because they are a protected species.
You just can't come in and catch and you can't kill them you can't move them, said Taylor.
