Upland Brewing Announces Hill Walker Saison
(Bloomington,IN) – Upland Brewing Co. announced today that Hill Walker Saison will be available at our retail locations and in select establishments starting July 1. After a hiking trip on the Tecumseh trail in Brown County, Indiana, and while climbing the many switchbacks, we started to crave a good saison. One of 2013′s “15 Beers for 15 Years”, Hill Walker is the refreshing summer-drinking answer to our prayers.
Beer Description: This beer features late hop additions and two yeast strains – one to enhance traditional saison flavor, and one to build a crisp finish. Rye adds the perfect complexity to a simple malt base. Fruity yet spicy, this beer finishes dry with subtle hop aroma, a nice peppery rye malt flavor, high carbonation, and lovely effervescence.
About the Brewery: Located in Bloomington, Indiana, Upland’s rich history dates all the way back to 1998. Taking traditional recipes and making them a bit more awesome, Upland Brewing Co. came up with their own recipes rooted with inspiration from good beer and good friends, providing a fresh local option to their communities. The name Upland comes from the term geologists gave to this area of Southern Indiana land which was never overrun by the glaciers that flattened much of Indiana’s landscape. The adversity of the land bred independent thinkers who had strong wills, a connection to the land, and a wry sense of humor about life. Upland’s approach to brewing beer honors the spirit of these people and this place.
