This Friday, Upland Brewery is one of the sponsors for Heart of the Brews, a fundraiser benefitting Riley Children’s Hospital Heart Division. Our own, Cari Crowe, was a patient in this division when she was a child, so it’s pretty close to our hearts…quite literally.
This fundraiser is being held at the Omni Severin, Downtown Indianapolis, Friday February 24th at 7pm. Tickets are $40, and we’re serving Wheat, Dragonfly, Porter, Schwarz, Ard Ri, and Rad Red.
Other breweries that will be supporting are Barley Island, Bier, and Sun King. We hope you can make it.
Upland Brewery will be at the D’vine Winter Wine and Beer Festival THIS Saturday, February 25th, 2012, from 11am – 7pm, serving an array of beer including a seasonal.

Hi everyone. Here’s a little post to keep you up-to-date on what we’ve got going on this week and weekend at the Earth House, located downtown Indy on East Street and New York Street. The Earth House Collective is an Indianapolis community hub that collaborates with local organizations and artists to support the arts, encourage healthy living and promote sustainable community since 2008. They’ve given local artists and the entire community, a venue to display art, see a show, or just enjoy a cup of coffee.
In the past, The Earth House has not really served beer with the exception of a couple of shows that would have special permission. Well, this Thursday will be the first time we’ll be partnering with the Earth House to sell beer in the venue, and we are very excited about it AND the MOKB Presents! show that will be taking place on Thursday night. Join us as we take in the cool sounds of Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears with openers, Tiger High. Get your tickets here for this anticipated show!
On Friday, The Earth House is also hosting an evening of Jazz and Sushi, which is a big fundraiser for them. Upland will be served there. If it’s something you’re interested in getting involved with, please check out this link.
Supporting the Earth House in Indianapolis is a great way to help support the local arts in this community. Be a part, get involved and show some local love. Learn more about The Earth House.
