For the past few months, we’ve been hanging out with brewery owners, brewers, roasters, sales reps, and other beer industry folk, to give a behind-the-scenes look at REVved UP, the collaboration beer between Upland Brewing and Revolution Brewing. Here’s where we are now: Upland will brew and bottle a blonde ale and Revolution will do the same with a brown ale. Both will use coffee from Chicago roasters, Dark Matter Coffee. Both will be called REVved UP. Today I’m in beautiful Bloomington, Indiana at Upland Brewing Company’s production brewery for the official REVved UP brew day.

When 312 Urban Wheat first launched in 2004, no one could anticipate the impact it would have on our great city. From the get go it was a beer that embodied the qualities of Chicago we hold close to our hearts: no-nonsense, down to business, and perfect for any occasion. Now, over 12 years later, it’s hard to picture Chicago without 312. And since 3/12 is just around the corner, why not celebrate?
Thanks to everyone who made it out for our 3 Sheeps Brewing “Beat the Brewer” event at WhirlyBall! When we weren’t incessantly running into each other with bumper cars, we took time to enjoy some rare beers from 3 Sheeps including the ghost pepper infused, Hoppy Spice.
