Upland Sours Week

Over 10 years ago, our friends at Upland Brewing Company began experimenting with sour beers with a few wine barrels they had traded for from a local winery. Sheer curiosity and a passion for innovation spurred them to continue brewing and blending, each batch unique and exciting. Now, with a newly constructed dedicated sours facility, Upland is able to offer select sours outside their home state of Indiana and we couldn't be more excited. In fact, folks from Upland will be in Chicago to share these sours with a handful of events starting February 28th. Check them out below and come hang!
