    Here you go, Wisconsin people. No more driving to Menominee or Iron Mountain to get your UPA fix.

    We are excited to share that we’ll soon begin distribution into Wisconsin beginning November 16, 2015. Staying true to our northern roots, Upper Hand beers will only be available in the northern half of the state.

    Counties where Upper Hand beers will be available include Ashland, Barron, Bayfield, Brown, Burnett, Chippewa, Clark, Door, Douglas, Dunn, Eau Claire, Florence, Forest, Iron, Kewaunee, Langlade, Lincoln, Marathon, Marinette, Menominee, Oconto, Oneida, Outagamie, Pepin, Pierce, Polk, Portage, Price, Rusk, Saint Croix, Sawyer, Shawano, Taylor, Villas, Washburn, Waupaca and Wood.

    “The North shares a culture and natural beauty that can’t be separated by some imaginary boundary. We are very excited to now share our beers with our northern neighbors,” commented Larry Bell, President and Founder of Bell’s Brewery, Inc. (Upper Hand Brewery is a division of Bell’s).

    To celebrate our expansion, launch events will be held throughout Upper Hand’s Wisconsin distribution area beginning the week of November 16. Check our events calendar for upcoming events. We’ll be adding more as we line them up.

    Hey, my County is on that list. Now I don't have to wait for my semi-annual trips back to the 'Nab to drink UPA. That beer is better than most of the WI APA's I can get in my part of the state. It will be nice to have an APA option that isn't Moon Man, for a change pace.

    Just seems kinda weird that I have to trade with someone from another state in order to get a beer made in Michigan :astonished:

    I definitely understand your point. I've bought plenty of MI brewed beers in WI that I never saw on the shelf in the U.P. thanks to allotments, etc.
