OK, Craft Beer fanatics; give Chairman Moe a full report on these guys, please. 400 Pound Monkey IPA, Black Jack Porter, Milk Stout, Nitro, Warrier IPA, Twin Sisters DIPA, et al . . . I've never tried them and wonder if they're worth seeking out. Thanks!
 
I know I've tried a couple of their beers and thought they were fine. Believe the stout was one, but I think there were others I tried as well. Perhaps they have a variety pack? If you find it on tap somewhere, by all means, give it a try.

Milk Stout Nitro is very good. Very smooth. Recommend it.
 
I'm not an IPA lover of any sort so I can't speak to LH's variety of those, but the Nitro bottled Milk Stout is nothing short of outstanding. If you like Guiness, you'll really like the Nitro Milk Stout. The nitro (NO2) and milk sugars give a great, creamy finish. I've turned many nothing-but-Guiness drinkers onto this beer. I'd also highly recommend the Nitro bottled Sawtooth Ale. It's an ESB so you'll get some hop flavors but very mellow. If you've had Fullers ESB and liked, you'll really like Sawtooth.
For both, important to pour heavy out of the bottle. Invert completely and practically shake it out of the bottle.
 
Moe, Left Hand is about 20 minutes from my home and is definitely worth checking out. As folks have already said, the Milk Stout is good as is the Sawtooth Ale. Overall, Left Hand is a pretty solid brewery.

Mrs. 74 likes the Milk Stout and the Nitro.
 
Left Hand milk stout (the plain milk stout, not the nitro) is my single favorite beer in the world right now. The nitro milk stout is fantastic as well, but I like the non-nitro just a little better
 
Couple things here....

1. The milk stout is their bread and butter and it's a B plus beer. The rest of their portfolio like others have said is solid but unspectacular.

2. I find it terribly amusing when people rip on Budweiser or any other beer for the masses. Do you realize how difficult and fickle brewing beer is? That local craft bar down the street makes a beer and each keg tastes different while a Budweiser tastes the same in Bejing as it does in Wichita.

3. It's gotten so bizarre that if a craft brewery is purchased by an Ab InBev or Molson coors people won't drink it. Well, fortunately I've been able to tour breweries all over the nation and some of the things Ab does is literally amazing. And goose island is still as crafty as New Belgium and Ithaca brewing is probably doing cooler stuff than your local guy. Is sculpin now going to suck because constellation bought it? It's stupid. Good beer is good beer.

4. Finally. Next time I'm at fatheads or houghs and someone asks to take a picture of their beer to share on Facebook or Instagram I'm going to break their phone.
