Aside from Upland, are any of the other breweries worth checking out? I see there is BBC, Function and Big Woods in Nashvile. Was thinking of grabbing a growler for the hotel. Thanks!
If you're getting a growler get Common Necessity from Quaff On (aka Big Woods). I took one to Darkness Day and it was a big hit.
Not a brewery, but Yogi's has a pretty decent beer selection. used to have dark lord vintages on the menu but i don't see them on there anymore. they were ~$250.
Quaff On!/Big Woods does have a brewpub in Bloomington. It's off Grant St. The food is pretty good, and they fill growlers there, or you can sit at the bar for a pint or two.
I'd recommend Function. They don't do growlers, but their food and beer is good. BBC/Lennie's and Yogi's are both nice as well although more crowded when IU is in session. Big Woods/Quaff On does have a location in Bloomington relatively close to Function and Upland and have one of the best guest draft lists in town.
Thanks for all the recommendations. Our schedule changed slightly and I only managed to get to Upland this go round. Grabbed a growler of the Harvest Ale and thought it was a solid "B" offering. Will be excited to check out some of the other spots mentioned here when we get back down there without the kiddos. Cheers, Chad
