We’ve produced quality beers over the years by challenging and refining our craft, not by appeasing trends. Discerning taste, rolled up sleeves, and upholding our uniquely progressive ideals ensures our drinkers will appreciate Upland beers as much as we do. Many of our brews are unique twists on traditional recipes, while others are creations of our own imaginations. At our brewpubs and tasting rooms in Bloomington, Columbus, Carmel and Indianapolis, flavor, discourse, debate, laughter, and conversation flow as freely as our beer.

Amber with small head. Honey, toffee malt, and grass aroma. Amber with small head. Moderately sweet cherry, toffee malt, and mildly bitter grass flavor. Good body. Nicely drinkable.
Hazy orange pour with a lingering off white head. Citrus and resinous hop aroma. The flavor is hoppy, resinous, malty, and kind of cough syrupy. I’m still not certain exactly what makes an IPA / Hazy IPA cross the line intoncough syrup notes for me, but it makes this one a bit underwhelming.
