FACT SHEET
Beer Description: Single Hop IPA using Chinook Hops. This classic American hop that is highly valued for its bittering capabilities as well as its piney, resinous flavor and aroma. It’s one of our favorites, so we decided to let it fully express its assertive flavor and aroma with crystal clarity. However, the beer itself will be one of the few beers that we brew which will not be clear. We’ve decided to leave it unfiltered to preserve as much flavor and aroma as possible.

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.
