Bloomington, IN - Upland Brewing Co is pleased to announce another exciting brewery lineup for 2019 featuring fresh packaging formats, new brands, and select fan favorites that are becoming more widely available.

Customers can expect many more can options in 2019 thanks to the recent completion of a canning line, which will allow Upland to improve sustainability efforts, match patrons preferred beer format, and keep favorite brands in stock. This Spring, in addition to previous formats, Wheat Ale and Champagne Velvet will be packaged in 12 packs of 12 oz cans. Joining them in the same format this Fall is Dragonfly IPA, Bad Elmer’s Porter, and Upland Variety Packs.  

Three new beers will debut this year, starting with two in the Side Trail Series: a category dedicated to innovation and currently exploring the juicy and hazy characteristics of NE-style IPAs. The third is a new Winter Seasonal in 6 pack, 12 oz cans that is replacing Latitude Adjustment. The beer style and name will be released later in the year.
