Little Dragon Low-Cal IPA Year Round IPA Often, we’d love to be able to have one more beer but not more intoxication, more of a hangover, or more of a waistline. Little Dragon Lo-Cal IPA is designed to fulfill the strongest cravings of hop lovers while making it easier to drink responsibly and still be satisfied. Our use of oats, wheat, carapils, and crystal malt combined with a firm but balanced bitterness gives Little Dragon the unmistakable feel of a true IPA. In addition, this beer utilizes a combination of well-loved American hops like Columbus, Cascade, and Centennial and a new and much sought-after variety, Strata. And with a dry hop quantity equal to its big brother Dragonfly but with less malt to get in the way, you can expect a potent and enticing expression of hop flavor and aroma.

SentinAle is a collaboration between several local breweries: Upland, Bloomington Brewing Company, The Tap, Switchyard, Quaff On, Metalworks, and Feed Store with the Conservation Law Center (CLC) to help inform local residents about the Southern Indiana Sentinel Landscape partnership program. This initiative connects landowners to financial and technical assistance for conservation projects to support rural working landscapes, conserve our natural resources, and ensure the long term sustainability of our military installations.

Basically, this is free money for private landowners over a vast swath of the state (tens of thousands of acres) to help better their land through forest management, habitat preservation and restoration, soil improvement, and watershed protections. Our partnership with the CLC will help ensure that these funds don’t go unused by helping to spread awareness of the program to local landowners.

Each brewery created their own version of this brew with a few things in common: a grain bill which includes locally malted spelt (an ancient relative of wheat) and triticale (a hybrid of wheat and rye) from Sugar Creek Malt in Lebanon Indiana, and the brewer’s choice of a Saison or Farmhouse yeast.

Upland’s take on this beer is fermented with a spicy/citrusy French Saison yeast, dry hopped with locally grown Copper hops from Tiger Claw Hop Farm in Crawfordsville, then blended with a small portion of Basis, our oak aged sour blonde ale.

Our Tart Series is a way for us to utilize our extensive experience in brewing sour ales in a way that maximizes drinkability without skimping on flavor.

Each tart recipe (Two of Tarts, Petal to the Kettle, Modern Tart, and now Razz Cherry Beret) is built to showcase fruits and/or spices and other botanicals with the backdrop of a crisp, mildly acidic kettle-soured ale.

Razz Cherry Beret features raspberry and cherry purees sourced from our Oregon Fruit, our most trusted fruit supplier. The addition of fruit late in the fermentation helps ensure that as little of the fresh fruit flavor and aroma is lost during the process.

A small amount of lactose is added to the boil to bolster a creamy mouthfeel and to restore a hint of residual sweetness lost from the raspberry and cherry during fermentation.

Less Info ▴

We chose ingredients that were undeniably refreshing: ginger and lemon. To amplify this thirst-quenching quality we chose a locally sourced yeast strain that produces a mild tartness to this finished beer. To soften that tartness and add a touch of electrolytes, we included a small amount of pink Himalayan sea salt. Refreshingly session-able, Breaking Away is the perfect post-ride quencher.

Our friends at Oliver Winery have had a hand in our Sour Ale program since the beginning. The first oak barrels acquired by Upland were purchased from Oliver. We have released our Terrior Series for a few years now. The Chambourcin grape is grown in Indiana by wine makers for dry reds and rose’. We have used Chambourcin in our Oak and Rose’ and Oak Timbre, which has only used Basis in the blending process. With the nice tannins that come from the skins of the Chambourcin grape we thought it would pair well with our flanders red style base beer.

Devined pours a deep red to ruby in color and has aromas of red wine, dried fruit, cherry and fig. The flavor is malty with red wine, lemon, cherry, dark fruit with a medium bodied tart finish.

This collaboration began as a shared vision. A passion for Belgian Ales, love of the Midwest, and commitment to sustainability brought us together with our friends at Taxman Brewery to make Extension. To bring it to life, we brewed Taxman’s Tripel, a swaggery Belgian-style ale, with orange zest, coriander and lemon, in Upland’s Wood Shop Sour Brewery. After the primary fermentation in our foedre it aged it in our barrels for 6 months. Next, we blended it with 18-month aged Basis, resulting in a dry, fruity ale with low tartness and subtle spice character. We imagine it’s what liquid gold tastes like.
