On May 10th, Left Hand Brewing started brewing the first batch of USS Colorado’s “Pride Runs Deep” beer. Committee Members Tom Ramar, Dan Puleio, and JJ and Forence Mackin were on hand as Left Hand’s Marketing Director, Sarah Watson, and VP of Brewing Operations, Joe Schiraldi, explained the brewing process and observed the first batch being made. The beer will be an India Pale Ale with Colorado Blue Spruce pine tips. The beer will be ready for distribution at the end of June and will be distributed in both Colorado and Connecticut. We will publish more about it’s distribution when it is known.Left Hand is planning to make it available in bottles and on draft. Proceeds from the sale of the beer will be donated to the Committee to support Commissioning and the Crew.
