    Hi,

    I’m driving next week up to Short’s (Torch Lake area) and was wondering if there are any bottle shops outside of the UP that sell Upper Hand Brewing in cans?

    If not, which one is the best bottle shop to get Upper Hand in Saint Ignace area?

    Thanks

    I think upper hand is only sold in the UP, WI, & MN. Nothing in the LP. If you get across the bridge, it is pretty ubiquitous. Should be able to stock up at any grocery store or decent gas station.

    Right, they don’t distro to the LP.

    In St Ignace I know you can get it at Zodiac Party Store right on US2, or the Holiday gas station right next door. It’s pretty much everywhere.

    Or you could just drive the extra 2h15m and come to Escanaba. They’ve had some killer pub-only drafts and cans lately.

    Yeah, not to be another downer but you won't see Upper Hand below the bridge unless they do another event at Bell's (like two(?) summers ago.

    But I was able to find six packs just about everywhere when I've crossed the bridge, and like @whatsleftofyou said, if you're in the UP it is absolutely worth it to go to the pub/tasting room. The stuff there is killer.

    Thanks for the hints. Followed the advice and did a day trip to the UP and stocked up at Zodiac. They had a good selection incl. their variety pack.
