Our story.
Independent. Bloomington-rooted. Brewing what moves us since 1998.
Upland embodies what Bloomington stands for — a stubbornly independent town surrounded by limestone hills, a town where the line between artist, athlete, and academic blurs over a good beer.
We started in 1998 in a single brewpub on the north side of town. One mash tun. A beat-up kettle. A recipe for a Hoosier-honest pale ale and a conviction that Indiana deserved beer made by people who actually live here.
We chose the name Upland for the unglaciated southern third of Indiana — the part of the state the last ice age missed, full of caves, ridges, and limestone the rest of the Midwest doesn't have. It's where we grew up and where we built this thing. The beer tastes like it.
Brewed in Bloomington.
Every drop starts at Profile Brewery on the west side of Bloomington — production, barrel cellar, and a tap room out front — while The Wood Shop keeps our internationally distributed wood-aged sour program going.
Taprooms across Indiana.
From Bloomington to Indianapolis, Carmel, Columbus and Jeffersonville, every Upland has its own character. We're still independent, still in Bloomington, and still pouring for the people who pour for us.
Good beer deserves good food.
Chef-driven menus, weekend brunch and family-friendly patios — made to sit alongside a tap list that always features something new.
