Upland's Seasonal Ale


Winter Warmer

A barley-wine style ale. The strong malt character and dark color is produced using a long boil and the fines British and American barley. Rich fruit flavors and aromas are balanced by a pleasant bitter taste. The finish is long and lingering, making the drinker want another... That and the 9% alcohol content.


Chocolate Stout

A very dark, robust beer. Chocolate, pale, and roasted malts, rolled oats and spicy hops were used to brew this beer, promoting a coffee-like flavor with hints of dark bitter chocolate. Organic chocolate was added in conditioning to create a complex chocolate finish.


Upland Pilsener

This Bohemian Pilsener has a crips malt character and fleeting bitter finish. The beer has been cold conditioned for six weeks to give a smooth version of the Pilsener style.
