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. Today, in the final chapter of Behind The Beer, the guys from Upland are here in Chicago, helping Revolution with their coffee brown ale.

Looking at the 5-day forecast, it’s easy for us Midwesterners to get excited about a few days above 50 degrees—the possibility of another snow ever-looming. But this week—rain or shine, snow or sleet—there’s one thing we can all count on: Bell’s Oberon is here for another season.
Seen as the unofficial first day of spring by many, Oberon’s near cult following has created an infectious buzz around its annual March release date and customers go to great lengths to get their hands on the freshest glass possible. Its drinkability and approachability attract all types of beer drinkers and we were fortunate to sit down with David Munro, National Field Services Manager for Bell’s Brewery, to talk about Oberon and why it’s one of the most sought-after beers of the year.
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.
It’s hard to believe a city like Chicago, with its storied history and prominent food culture, has never had a pizza festival. Ever.
“This is one of the best pizza cities in the entire country, let alone the world,” says Anthony Spina, Brand Manager for Old Style Beer. “You could try a different pizza place in Chicago everyday for a year and never run out. It’s unbelievable.”
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?
