Upland Brewing Co. in Bloomington is partnering with Heartland Beverage to distribute its craft beer, hard seltzers, and sours throughout Chicago. The brewery says distribution will begin this spring.

Upland says the upcoming launch completes its footprint in Illinois and further establishes the brewery’s regional presence.

“We receive multiple inquiries each month requesting where to find our beers and wood-aged sours in Chicagoland,” said David Bower, Upland president. “We’re excited to finally be able to connect Chicago-based fans to shelves and taps in the area.”

The brewery says beers included in the launch include regional favorites such as Champagne Velvet Pilsener and Patio Cat Summer Ale as well as limited release brands like Two of Tarts and Pawpaw Sour Ale. The launch will also include Naked Barrel Hard Seltzer.
