QUOTE FROM WADE SHANOWER, PRESIDENT, BIG RED LIQUORS:
“Big Red was Upland’s first wholesale customer, and our sales of their beers have grown every year since. This growth has come about due to the dedication of their staff to making high quality craft beers that lead the way in Indiana. We are excited that they are making a further significant investment in their Bloomington facilities which will benefit the community for many years to come”

QUOTE FROM MARK KRUZAN, MAYOR, CITY OF BLOOMINGTON:
“This business decision to expand brewery operations in this location is the first tangible sign that the City’s efforts to transform the former rail switchyard into our community’s central park will not only produce an unparalleled recreational amenity for our citizens but will also absolutely spur new economic development activity in the area. It’s never easy for the trailblazer, but their success will be the community’s success and so I am thrilled to be working with this homegrown local business to see how the City can help in its growth.”

QUOTE FROM DANISE ALANO-MARTIN, DIRECTOR OF ECONOMIC AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT, CITY OF BLOOMINGTON:
“Upland’s brewery expansion in the former RCA Thomson warehouse will continue the tradition of industrial activity at the site, but will also add a new and exciting cultural dimension, one that builds upon the bustle of the B-Line Trail. Without a doubt it will be a catalyst project, a headstart on realizing a new community vision in the area.
