Sweet aromas of melon and earthy pine lead you into a flavor-packed Session India Pale Ale with sweet lemon and orange flavors, along with a spicy earthiness. Backcountry is an easygoing IPA with a nice lingering bitterness.
The Indiana Forest Alliance is thrilled by our continued collaboration with the Bloomington Brewing Company and the 2015 release of the Back Country Session IPA. BBC and Lennie’s Brewpub have become part of the fabric that makes southern Indiana such a unique place, much like the rolling hills of forests that define the region.
The Back Country Session IPA is at once both a celebration of Indiana’s wild forests as well as a call-to-action for their protection. Since 2005, commercial logging in Indiana’s state forests has risen to unprecedented levels, threatening their wild character and recreation opportunities for all Hoosiers. The Indiana Forest Alliance is on the front lines of a new era in forest protection in Indiana. We are fighting to protect Indiana’s state forests for the sake of hikers, mountain bikers, horseback riders, hunters, mushroomers, and backpackers, as well as the countless flora and fauna that depend on our forests for habitat.

In the words of the great explorer Jacques Cousteau, “People will only protect what they love, and they will only love what they know.” So, grab a four-pack or growler of the BBC’s Back Country Session IPA and head out to one of Indiana’s three state forest backcountry areas. The 16-ounce can is easy to pack, easy to drink, easy to recycle, and it is the perfect companion for when you’re sitting around a campfire with friends, miles from any road, with the stars as your shelter and laughter as your soundtrack.
