Upland Brewing Company, Inc. is a Bloomington, Indiana-based brewery established in 1998 that specializes in handcrafted ales and lagers.

This year’s blackberries came from our friends at Heartland Farms in Spencer, Indiana, and the blueberries are from Peterson Farms in Michigan.

Dantalion - Dantalion is our demonically named sour ale based on the Oud Bruin beer style. Medium brown in color, Dantalion has hints of chocolate, Munich malts, and rye. We also incorporate a spice blend containing ginger, coriander, star anise, grains of paradise, and black pepper to create a gentle halo of spice character. The beer is fermented on the same selection of yeasts and microbes as our base lambic, and aged for up to 8 months or more in white oak barrels.

VinoSynth White - VinoSynth White is 100% Sour Reserve aged on locally grown Traminette grapes.Traminette is considered Indiana’s signature varietal. Our Sour Reserve lends itself wonderfully to enveloping the acidity of the grape with notes of lactic acid to compliment the classic apple and tropical fruit character of the Traminette grapes. 

VinoSynth Red - VinoSynth Red is a blend of 50% Sour Reserve and 50% Malefactor Flanders-style Red Ale aged on Catawba grapes. Catawba is a native North American variety, known for making jams and jellies, and distinctly juice, fruity, exotic wines. Malefactor was blended with Sour Reserve to develop more body, mild bourbon barrel character, and a layered acidity to complement the Catawba’s innate sweet, fruity notes.
