For the first time ever, Upland Brewing Co will be releasing its first beer brewed with an edible flower. Our newest sour ale, Viola, gives our classic oak aged sour ale a new twist using fresh viola flowers. The beer’s enticing floral aromas and flavors are best enjoyed with seafood, sushi, or dark chocolate. With a focus on utilizing locally sourced ingredients, Upland has collaborated with our friends at Oliver Winery in Bloomington, Indiana to create Vinosynth White and Vinosynth Red. These collaboration bottles are a unique combination of Upland Sours aged on Indiana grown grapes. Vinosynth Red is aged on Catawba grapes and Vinosynth White is aged on Vidal Blanc grapes from the Oliver Creekside Vineyards. We’re excited to share this unique creation that celebrates the artisanship and love of local ingredients our two companies share. This release is rounded out with sour favorites Sour Reserve #5 and Blackberry Lambic. In celebration of these new releases, Upland is also excited to announce our next sour lottery! The lottery will begin at noon on June 24th and will remain open until noon on June 30th. This lottery includes Sour Reserve #5, Viola, Blackberry Lambic, Vinosynth White, and Vinosynth Red. For additional details about this sour lottery head to www.uplandsours.eventbrite.com.

Welcome! Typically what we do is everybody who is interested also enters the lottery and then we pool all the bottles from the society and the lottery. Typically I have taken all the extras, just as you're suggesting, but we can certainly split them :-)

This is how it appears so far. Looks like we should all hit the lottery next week to try and get enough for all

 

 Spaniel has opted out of this round.

I can still put into the lottery if needed, so it's a win for everyone else.  I've cut back on beer and the scale is thanking me.

Whodat, it is going to be a while until I can come up with $75 worth of beer.  I have some smaller items to ship out to Indy.  When I finalize that box I will also mail you a check for the difference.  That OK?

 

That's cool. I've got so much beer to work through right now that it'll be a while before I'm looking for new beer. Except for homebrews. I'll always take homebrews 

I'm playing catch up with the homebrews at the moment but I got some stuff from Carton and Weyerbacher I need to send to you (need to wait for Weyerbacher's anniversary beer, should be real soon).  I'll let you know when I ship and send the check .... will be towards the end of the month.

Thank you. Yes. It would be great if everyone can join the lottery to help out our newest member. I'm also happy to handle the shipping out to California  I do that quite a bit.

Awesome.  Let me know what you want in return.  I am sure I have a few you have not had.
