Press Release: 

(Bloomington, IN) – Upland Brewing Company announced today Breakfast Berliner Weisse, the 2013 UpCup homebrewing competition winner and the third installment in the brewery’s Side Trail Series, will be ready for release next week. Winner Tom Wallbank’s recipe is tart, refreshing, and highly effervescent. London ale yeast, kettle souring techniques, and German Spalt and Hallertau hops merge to create an easy-drinking beer that is low in bitterness with bright acidity. Lemon, honey, and grain notes make this beer delicious and invigorating- truly the most important meal of the day. Look for this draft-only beer at select bars and restaurants across Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Wisconsin, and Chicago in the coming weeks.

As an honorary member of the Upland brew crew, Tom joined the staff at the Upland production facility to be Brewmaster for a day while this beer was brewed, and his beer turned out to be just as delicious as the batch that won him the UpCup trophy. Breakfast will be on tap at all Upland locations on Friday May 16th. Stop by to check it out, and try it with a splash of Woodruff syrup! This sweet, herbaceous syrup was ordered in from Germany and is traditionally added to Berliner Weisse to cut the natural sourness of the beer.
