THE WELCOMING COMMITTEE
To celebrate our new look, we have released “The Welcoming Committee,” a new twist on our traditional beer sampler pack to welcome fans-both new and old. Containing twelve bottles of “Wheat Ale, Dragonfly IPA, and at least two other varieties of whatever the guys boxing it up were in the mood for,” the Welcoming Committee is, as its name suggests, an ideal introduction to the company’s beer for those new to the brand. It’s also a favorite of Upland fans, who appreciate its combination of old favorites and randomly selected seasonal beers to try. more…

Campside on the Tecumseh Trail
Last month, five members of our brew crew set out to ring in Campside season the Bloomington way. We grabbed our tents, filled our packs, and headed to Tecumseh Trail in our beautiful neighbor community Brown County for two nights of camping and a 42 mile hike. We made friends with some reptiles along the way, and lucky for us, we stumbled upon the motherload of delicious morel mushrooms. And it turns out morels are a perfect complement to Campside! Check out great pictures of the hike HERE.
