Upland Brewing Company — Brewery / American, Bloomington
Upland Brewing Company has been Bloomington's flagship craft brewery since 1998. A brewery that established Indiana as a legitimate craft beer state before the state's brewing community developed the critical mass it has today. The sour program has earned national attention in the serious craft beer community.
The barrel-aged sour program. Lambic-inspired beers developed in oak barrels with wild yeast fermentation. Is Upland's most technically ambitious contribution to American craft brewing. The Bloom and the Dragonfly represent the brewery's range from approachable to adventurous.
The pub food is designed to serve the beer program: the Hoosier-sourced burgers, the Indiana pork preparations, and the seasonal specials that reflect the brewery's commitment to the state's agricultural culture.
The 11th Street location in the arts corridor puts Upland within the Bloomington creative community that has always been the brewery's natural constituency.
