Brewers of Indiana Guild

Brewed with 8 malts, molasses, poplar syrup, candi sugar, chocolate, coffee, vanilla, and orange peel.

chwarzbier (black beer) originated in medieval Germany, and though Upland isn't quite that old, we strive to bring you an authentic version of this historic beer. Our take on this ancient lager delivers hints of chocolate and coffee, courtesy of its dark malts, with a strong nose and a clean finish, striking the right balance of robust and crisp, with enough bitterness to accentuate but, not overpower, its many subtle flavors.
Don't be fooled by Schwarz's dark color! This beer may look ferocious, but it's as smooth as any golden lager. Schwarz is a great beer to enjoy when the days get cold.

British Dark Mild. Amber color with fragrant malt aroma.

This beer is based on the very first commercially brewed beer in the state of Indiana. Nearly all of Great Crescent Dark Lager sold in New Harmony. IN to a small pub called "Sara's Harmonie Way" and is served on draft and available in growlers pre-packed at the brewery.

Northwest Hops

This Black Lager offers a smooth maltiness with a complex sweetness that finishes with a bit of clove. May this Schwarz BiEr with you!

Bent Rim Black is brewed with imported malts from Bamburg, Germany including pilsner malt, Munich malt, and a special "carafa malt" which delivers a rich black color and smooth roasted flavor without the bitter bite. Two additions of the spicy Tettnang hops gives Bent Rim its remarkable balance. The brew is finished with a long, cool fermentation by a traditional German strain of bottom fermenting lager yeast. Bent Rim is a medium bodied dark beer with the light, crisp aftertaste of a lager.
