27 Jan Upland Brewing New Beer Release: ‘Let’s Get Weird’
Since our 2014 Side Trail Series was so successful we’ve decided to have another year of fun and funky releases. Our premier release for the 2015 Side Trail Series is Let’s Get Weird. This brew will be available on draught February 13th and on tap at Upland retail locations on February 27th.
Beer Description: The initial aroma provides hints of pear and apple with a light spiciness complimented by delicate, coffee, berry, and chocolate notes. The flavor is that of slightly sweet creamy chocolate and light roasted malt with background notes of fresh fruit and the pleasant, berry-like tartness of black currants.
ABV: 6% IBU: 30

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.
