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.

Lemon, barley malt, and orange peel aroma. Golden yellow with moderate white head. Moderately sweet orange, lemon, biscuit malt, and moderately bitter orange peel flavor. Good body. Not bad - standard.
16 oz draft at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. This was my celebratory beer following Marquette’s win and advancement to the Sweet Sixteen. The pour is a clear orange, golden copper with a small off white head. The aroma is caramel malt, floral and a soft pineapple orange fruit. The taste is a nice blend between malt backbone and the floral and fruit sweetness, very much old school IPA flavors. The palate is medium to light bodies, softer carbonation and a malt fruit softly sweet finish.
Pours clear gold with a two finger white head. It has a mild, grainy malt aroma. It tastes of grainy, bready malt and a little hops for balance. Light bodied and easy drinking, it’s fine for what it is, though it’s not really my thing.
