Small place. Standard beers with some stuff you may not find in bottles. Everybody was very nice, and a Brewer Mike approached me and took me through the brewery and let me sample some stuff that wasn’t available yet. I’d like to visit again soon.

I made a special trip from Brown State Park to visit Upland, and dragged my brother and cousins along. Typical brewpub ambiance with outdoor seating. Very loud inside and the music does not help matters. I am sad to say that myself and everyone did not have a good experience. This was on a Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. You would think they would be prepared. Nope. I had to go with my third choice on food because they were out of the first two. The waitress (who was not in a good mood) was just flat out terrible at her job. She kept forgetting to bring items, messed up our orders, and took forever to bring us our check. Everyone that came in after us was long gone. The food was good though. On one more positive note, the beers were decent, and they do offer growlers and six packs to go. I recommend you do that and eat elsewhere. The food side of this establishment is just VERY poorly managed.

Great place to visit for food and beer. Beers are reasonably priced. Service is good and knowledgeable about their beers. Dining area is a little small and can get crowded during their dinner rush.

Stopped here on a Saturday afternoon. Smaller sized building, but their acquisition of the properties next door has helped ease the parking issues they’ve had in the past. Tight dining area with plenty of tables and a bar. I ordered the Winter Warmer, which I’ve never had on draft, and it was excellent, and my wife had the IPA which was a pleasant English style IPA. We both ordered a cup of the Buffalo Chili, which had a great flavor and just a kick of spice to it. I ordered the pork loin sandwich and my wife had the chicken hoagie. Both sandwiches were really tasty, and the portions were generous. We were able to get a tour of the brewery as well, and its always nice to see how their operations work. Very clean brewing environment. I got to see the next batch of lambics sitting in their barrels in the back of the brewery.

Finally got to stop in here while I was picking up my lambics. Seems like a nice, clean, new place. Was able to park right in front on the street. Very friendly, accommodating staff. Glass window behind the bar so you could see the brewery operations. Good menu with well priced food. They had a Double IPA on tap while I was there and that was the saving grace. I’ve had most of all their beers at some point, and to be honest haven’t been too impressed. However, this DIPA changed it all. It was very good. They need to get inspired by that and carry it over to their other beers.

I went here on the first day of the Lambic release to pick up my reserves and eat dinner. I drank their sampler and had a few pints. Their beer is decent, that is about all that can be said. They seemed to be busier than normal with the lambic release. The waitress really knew her beer and explained the sampler very well to us (I was waiting for her to make a mistake and she never did). The food was above average - I got the Pulled Pork and for a non-BBQ restaraunt I thought it was excellent. The prices of the pints were great (3.50, plus they had a special which was less). The service was very good. We waited an average length to get our food but they continuously apologized for being so slow (and eventually discounted our meal 50% though it was completely not necessary). The workers were all very cool, especially the old guy who told me the Kiwi barrel exploded right next to him which was awesome. I got my free pint glass with my lambic purchase and I left with a very positive opinion of the establishment as a whole. I hope to make this an annual experience if they keep releasing their lambics.

Hopeless beer spot on a small street, besides a car dealer, you’d absolutely not expect a brewpub there. I know this happens with many brewpubs, but it was even stronger here. Welcoming, well-lighted, airy (though not so big) place with lots of wood and a hippie feel. This is Southern Indiana and I felt like Burlington, they seem to enjoy cyclism and were loaded with staff. I had expected a bit more from my food after reading the menu, which sounded appetizing and with lots of vegetarian options. I must say I would not have come to Bloomington at all were it not for the Lambic release and the brewer offered me remarkable service and arranged for me to get a case a couple of weeks ahead the official release date. That alone deserves a 10 for service. I cannot say I’ve been very impressed with most of the other beers which are drinkable and generally good examples of their respective style, but do not justify to go far out of your way.

First trip out. Was obviously hoping for some Lambic, but was not surprised when it wasn’t available. Quaint little bar/seating area...its super packed right now. Beer selection is okay, nothing phenomenal. Food was unfortunately not all that great. Tasty and all, but lacking in any sort of push towards creativity. Felt a bit under satisfied for my $7.95 seiten sandwhich. Service was super quick! Nice staff. Overall, if I knew there was Lambic, I’d stop by again. No Lambic, I’d probably skip it.

I really enjoyed my first visit to Upland Brewing Company. Not much seating, but there is a patio do be used when the weather cooperates. 7 beers on tap when I visited. The sampler platter gave a nice taste of each selection and allowed me to try all of the beers on tap. I will definately go back and would recommend it to others if you are in the area.

Upland Brewing Company is a fun place to visit. With many good different brews and decent food, I always enjoy a visit.
