Upper Hand Updating Laughing Fish, Escabana Black, Yooper & UPA Cans

This morning we get to see the new packaging for several cans coming from Upper Hand Brewery (a division of Bell’s Brewery).  Laughing Fish is a summer ale that hits 4.9%-AbV, Escabana Black Ale is a smooth roasty black ale that hits 4.5%-AbV, Yooper Ale is a hoppy easy-drinking ale that remains at 4%-AbV and UPA is a traditional American pale ale that hits 5.5%-AbV.  These are the new 12oz cans and they will all carry the new Independent Craft Seal from the Brewers Association.  Commercial description below from Upper Hand Brewery:

Similar to a German Kolsch, this lighter-bodied, easy-drinking ale showcases clean malt and crisp hop characters. Brewed with raw U.P.-sourced wheat, Laughing Fish is the perfect companion to northern summers.

Upper Peninsula Ale is an American Pale Ale, brewed just for the north. The use of toasted malt gives it a nice, deep golden color, and the Mosaic hops impart citrus, floral, and berry aromas, and give UPA® a crisp, moderately bitter finish.

Available Year-Round  – Bottles and Draught

Yooper™ Ale is a nod to what makes us Yoopers. Just like life in the U.P., it is simple, yet beautiful. Offering a smooth mouthfeel from U.P. grown oats, this sessionable pale ale is rounded out with bright citrus aromas. So grab some neighbors and celebrate what makes life north of the bridge so special.

Available Year-Round  – Bottles and Draught

Escanaba Black Beer is malt forward, dark, and delicious. Its moderate roastiness is balanced with a mild hop bitterness. The result is a silky smooth finish for this sessionable ale, making it the perfect beer for anything the north has to offer.
