Upland Brewing Expands Distribution Into Chicago With River North

“Over the past 15 years we’ve built a brewery known for great beer, consistent organizational excellence, and made a lot of friends while being an active partner in our many communities,” said Upland President Doug Dayhoff.  “The tremendous reception of Upland’s recent wholesale expansions into Ohio and Kentucky has created an opportunity for even more growth.  There is a thirsty and large population of Bloomington transplants in Chicago.  This, combined with Chicago’s strong craft beer scene, made our expansion into the Windy City a natural next step.  We anticipate strong reception as we move into Chicago with River North, a proven and respected distributor for some of the world’s most renowned brands.”

Upland will bring their most popular beers to Chicago…Upland Wheat and Upland Dragonfly IPA.  In addition a rotating seasonal selection will be available starting with Upland Infinite Wisdom Tripel and Upland Harvest Ale – An American Pale Ale vibrantly wet-hopped with freshly harvested Citra hops.  The beers will be available in both package and draught.  When available, the brewery will bring rare and specialty beers to continue driving excitement among craft beer lovers in the Chicago market.  To keep informed of where to find Upland’s limited release beers in Chicagoland, please visit www.facebook.com/rivernorthbeer.
