At the BarComing down to Jasper for Strassenfest? Find us Saturday, August 7th 10am-4pm at the Fischer Farms tent party and homebrew competition! 124 3rd Ave, Jasper, IN. So enter a homebrew and enjoy the festivities with an Upland specialty beer in hand.
We're only a little more than a week away from Tour de Upland. If 30 hours of road cycling, camping, BBQ, and craft beer sounds like your idea of a good time, visit our website for info on how to register. We have fewer than 20 spots left, so act fast!
We're having a pre-party for Tour de Upland on Friday, Aug 13 at the Pine Room Tavern in Nashville, IN. It runs from 8-11pm. There’ll be 4 Upland brews on draught, live music, special beer-paired appetizers, and discounted appetizers for anyone wearing an Upland bike jersey!
Any Hoosiers going up to Madison for the Great Taste of the Midwest can find Upland at Alchemy Cafe the night before the big event, Fri Aug 13th, 8-11pm. Head brewer Caleb Staton and other Upland brewers and reps will be there with some special beers on hand.

From Big Red Liquors in Bloomington:
New items this week:
Left Hand Oktoberfest
Mad River Double Dread Imperial Red Ale - ..."is a high gravity red ale brewed with Two-Row Pale Malt, complimented by Aromatic and Wheat malts and a blend of Cara Munich, Carastan and Crystal malts for color, complexity and flavor."
Mad River Mad Belgian Golden Ale
Goose Island Sofie - "Fermented with wild yeasts and aged in wine barrels with orange peel, Sofie is tart, dry, sparkling ale. A subtle, spicy white pepper note, a hint of citrus from the orange peel and a creamy vanilla finish make Sofie an intriguing choice for Champagne drinkers and beer drinkers who are fond of Belgian Saisons."
Spaten Oktoberfest
Weihenstephaner Oktoberfest

From Joe at Payless Liquors on 96th Street:
How cool would it be to get a mini-keg for $15 cheaper than normal? Thought you'd say that. Rogue Yellow Snow IPA 5L kegs are on sale for $30 down from the original $45 starting Friday. If a double IPA is more your speed rumor has it that we will be getting a few bottles of Bell's Oracle. Very limited release. Sold as singles. It will be hidden away from the public. Should you desire one of these bottles simply approach an employee and tell them you are looking for a jive turkey. they'll know.
If you don't want hops or secrets may I recommend the Clipper City Summer Ale. It's lovely. Or Long Haul Session Ale from Two Brothers. You can drink it. Lots of it. And not feel bad. Badly. Because it's that good.
And if dark is what you crave then ask about some special imperial stouts that have been tucked away in the store for two years making themselves pretty just for you. Seriously. Pretty. For you.
