Upland - New Sour Release Including Three New Beers

From Upland:

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.  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 Creekbend Vineyards. We're excited to share this unique creation that celebrates the artisanship and love of local ingredients our two companies share. In celebration of these new releases, Upland is 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, Blackberry Lambic, Viola, Vinosynth White, andVinosynth Red . For additional details about this sour lottery, visit www.uplandsours.eventbrite.com.

FACT SHEET Beer Description: Developed from the second runnings of a batch of Dantalion, Viola is fermented by wild yeast and aged in oak barrels, which creates a tart, complex beer. We then add fresh viola flowers, giving the beer enticing floral aromas and flavors. The beer is bottle conditioned, which adds a zesty and refreshing carbonation. We recommend you pair Viola with seafood, sushi, or dark chocolate. Image Files:    Viola thumbnail , Viola large

FACT SHEET Beer Description: Our friends at Oliver Winery have had a hand in our Sour Ale program since the beginning. The first oak barrels acquired by Upland were purchased from Oliver. Now, many years later, we are excited to present this collaboration between friends that represents our Sour Program full circle. VinoSynth Red is a blend of 50% Sour Reserve and 50% Malefactor Flanders-style Red Ale aged on Catawba grapes. Catawba is a native North American variety, known for making jams and jellies, and distinctly juice, fruity, exotic wines. Malefactor was blended with Sour Reserve to develop more body, mild bourbon barrel character, and a layered acidity to complement the Catawba's innate sweet, fruity notes.

Now, many years later, we are excited to present this collaboration between friends that represents our Sour Program full circle. VinoSynth White is 100% Sour Reserve aged on locally grown Vidal Blanc grapes. Vidal Blanc is a French varietal with hints of tropical fruit flavor, commonly utilized to develop ice wines. Our Sour Reserve lends itself wonderfully to enveloping the acidity of the grape with notes of lactic acid, and allows the polite pineapple and grapefruit character of Vidal Blanc to shine on the palate.
