Upland's releasing more sours...

Thanks Upland and Cari! I definitely had a great time.

 

Upland should pretty much just quit making their other beers and just make sours and lambics.

 

Hit up the Bloomington brewpub this morning...

I'm not sure what i expected, but not what i got! these puppies used to (like, last year, same batch) sit on the shelf for weeks/months, and this morning there was a LINE! I was a little disappointing as we didn't get any blackberry (only showed up 15 minutes early, kind of by accident really, and were behind abut 35-40 people!), but we lucked into some raspberry so it's all good. i'm just psyched that it was a pretty legit little beer release, with a line, apprehension, elation and (unfortunately for some) dissapointment... Pretty awesome these beers have come so far, i'm glad it sounds like future plans include much more of the stuff. Who knows, in a couple years maybe it will be the next Dark Lord Day (with less metal and more granola )!

Also, thanks to Upland for handling the crowd/rush quickly and painlessly (everyone was in and out in like 10 minutes), and for not price-gouching us on year-old lambics!

 

You didn't even stop by to say hi. Dick move

 

I believe you mean goddess

 

Did Cari have any info when the next sour release may be?

 

Persimmon launches at Sourfest....that's what I heard from someone who talked to Cari

 

I'm hoping they revisit the Kiwi recipe.

 

Nice Persimmon is my favorite lambic.

 

I was standing not far from the conversation about the next release (during Sour Fest unless something goes wrong... again) and she counted out blueberry and may have hinted at peaches. Then again by that point quite a few beers had been consumed so my memory is a touch fuzzy. I don't think she went as far as confirming anything but did hint at persimmon.

 

What does it say, for those of us who don't use faceplace?

 

Its a picture of them cleaning Kiwi

 

One of the items in your avatar does not belong. It's the ugly chick that looks slightly better around her hot friends.

 

Hahaha, upon deeper inspection, I see that there actually is a female in the background. I was absolutely not talking about her, sorry in advance. Haha, fail.

 

Ray, when someone asks if you're a god...you say YES!

 

Help an IUB Alumni get some Upland Lambic? :-)

 

Yeah man, all you have to do is click buttons online when they do reservations, be fortunate enough to get one, and one of us will go and pick them up for you.

 

???? Do explain???? Please....been wanting Upland lambics, but here in CA they are hard to come by. Luckily getting a Raspberry from a bet in next week or so (literally just got text that he's sending with some extras for being patient :-)), and trading another BA for Persimmon, hopefully same BA is bringing Peach. Hoping to try the rest of the series.
