Upland’s Latest Side Trail Release: Dubbel Up Belgian Dubbel

Cooler weather is here; bring on the layers.
Just as we’ll pile on the layers throughout the winter, we’re ready to explore the rich layers and hearty characteristics of maltier styles. Dubbel Up, like other Belgian Dubbels, is a great example with its complex yeast characteristics, rich maltiness, and unique wine like dark fruit character. This is a traditional example of a Belgian Dubbel that stays true to the ingredients and flavor of the rich malty creations that Trappists Belgian breweries have been crafting for centuries.

About the Brewery:  Located in Bloomington, Indiana, Upland’s rich history dates all the way back to 1998. Taking traditional recipes and making them a bit more awesome, Upland Brewing Co. came up with their own recipes rooted with inspiration from good beer and good friends, providing a fresh local option to their communities. The name Upland comes from the term geologists gave to this area of Southern Indiana land which was never overrun by the glaciers that flattened much of Indiana’s landscape. The adversity of the land bred independent thinkers who had strong wills, a connection to the land, and a wry sense of humor about life. Upland’s approach to brewing beer honors the spirit of these people and this place.
