(Bloomington, IN) – Upland Brewing flipped the switch at noon.

Online Reservations for the upcoming release of Upland’s Cherry and Blackberry Lambics open today at 12pm on uplandbeer.com. [ed. note: almost 3pm but still appears to be open.]

Each person is able to reserve one bottle per style, and bottles will be available for pickup at our Bloomington Tap Room and Indy Tasting room from March 29th through April 12th.

Reservations for our last release in December 2010 lasted approximately 18 hours, with reservations coming from across the country.

Upland currently makes nine styles of sour ale. Eight of them are Belgian-style lambics, to which whole fruits are added while the beer is aging in oak casks. The ninth style we produce is Dantalion Dark Wild Ale. Like our lambics, this sour ale is aged for approximately a year-and-a-half in oak casks, but it features a special blend of spices rather than fruit.
