A mix of overcast and blues skies provided the backdrop for Left Hand Brewing Company’s Hops + Handrails event. Part beer fest, part rail jam, part concert, part fundraiser, part massive community block party, the crowds came out in droves and spread out throughout Longmont’s Roosevelt Park over the weekend to celebrate this funky and fun event. In it’s fifth year, Hops + Handrails once again bid winter adieu and welcomed spring, and the warm Colorado sunshine for the season. From skiers and snowboarders throwing down tricks on the massive snowboard ramp, to 60+ craft breweries from around the country pouring killer craft beers, to festival-goers relaxing in hot tubs in the VIP section, to the Chris Robinson Brotherhood closing out the festivities, here’s a look at this year’s Hops + Handrails event.
