Left Hand, Dry Dock Brewing Merge Under Craft Platform

Left Hand Brewing and Dry Dock Brewing, two prominent Colorado craft breweries, have announced a strategic partnership that combines their operations while maintaining their individual brands. As part of this collaboration, Dry Dock's brewing production and packaging will be relocated to Left Hand's facility in Longmont, although it will continue to operate its taproom in Aurora. The partnership aims to create an independent craft beer platform emphasizing community and collaboration, with Dry Dock's founders acquiring equity in Left Hand's parent company, Indian Peaks Brewing. Both breweries have a rich history of awards and community involvement, with plans to expand their reach through Left Hand's distribution network. Left Hand's CEO, Eric Wallace, indicated that they are also exploring opportunities to integrate additional beverage companies into their expanding platform. This merger reflects the breweries' commitment to quality and their vision for the future of independent craft brewing in Colorado and beyond.
