Upland brewing, out of Bloomington/Indianapolis brews some FANTASTIC sour beers. They have just released their latest epic Flanders Red (which won a Gold medal at FOBAB). Dave and I have already reserved our bottles and plan to make a roadtrip to the Indianapolis tasting room in February to pick up our bottles and taste some other beers. Hit the link below for more information and to reserve bottles if you are interested. We can head down there as a group for a little roadtrip!

Upland’s latest adventure into the world of sour brewing, Gilgamesh, is a beer fit for the legendary king of Uruk himself. This Flanders Red style beer is our strongest sour ale, at 10.5% ABV, and possesses a fruity Belgian yeast character, creamy mouthfeel contributed by flaked maize, tart highlights produced by wild microorganisms, and hints of oak texture from slightly neutral bourbon barrel aging.
Just after it was bottled, Gilgamesh won the gold medal in its category and runner up for Best in Show at Chicago’s Festival of Wood and Barrel Aged Beers in November 2011.
Are you strong enough to join Gilgamesh on its epic journey?
Ya, I imagine not all of us will be able to go on the date that we decide on. I'm sure whoever makes the trip will be happy to pick up other members bottles.
Just reserved 2 bottles. Hopefully I can make it when the date is set. If not, Kyle, would you guys pick it up ?
We don't have an exact date picked out yet. You have from Feb 1-22 to go and pick them up. I assume we will go down one Saturday and do it. Once we have the date set I will make it an event, but I wanted to let people know about it now, because if you want any of the Gilgamesh bottles you would need to reserve them IMMEDIATELY.
Hey, why don't you make this an event? When are you going?
