Upland Beer’s sour program dates back to 2006 with just 4 oak barrels. Obviously the program has grown considerably. On October 5th, 2011 at 12 noon, head brewer Caleb Staton’s years of hard work are about to be realized. Sour fans will be able to reserve this limited release beer at uplandbeer.com.
In addition to the reservation, those close to brewery can get tickets to a sour reception:
Alongside reservations, we’ll open online ticket sales for a Sour Reserve Reception to be held the first weekend of the pickup period, on Saturday, October 22nd.
Attendees will have the chance to sample all ten styles of sour ale released by Upland, including the Sour Reserve, and meet our brew crew. Only 100 tickets are available, and they are $30 each. You do not have to reserve a bottle of Sour Reserve in order to buy a ticket (but why wouldn’t you?). The reception will take place at our Bloomington Brew Pub from 3-6pm, and will include an assortment of cheeses and fruits suggested for pairing.Sour Reserve Is A Gueuze.
Gueuze is a lambic without fruit. Lambic? A Belgian style beer that is allowed exposure to open air fermentation, allowing the natural funky yeasts to do their thing. A gueuze is a blend of a few different brews or vintages of lambics, then aged in oak. Upland did the same thing. Blended portion of their favorite sour batches.
The lambics are then aged in oak, and we blend portions of our favorite batches together in their own barrels to develop unique flavors and aromas that can never be replicated. The final step in this patient process is bottle conditioning, which creates a fresh, zesty carbonation.

After 14 seasons, Molson states it’s due the minor league perception of the competition in England. Also (more artfully said) the teams in the league suck these days. [CanadianBusiness]
Income at Molson Coors fell 6 percent between April and June due to weak beer sales and increased costs for fuel and ingredients.

MillerCoors is filing a lawsuit with the New England Patriots claiming that they withdrew from a signed agreement to be an exclusive sponsor of the team from 2012 – 2019 to go with a better deal with Anhueser Busch / InBev. MillerCoors was a shared sponsorship partner with the Patriots for the last 10 years and was in negotiations to become the team’s exclusive partner when the NFL team backed out of the deal.
A complaint is rumored to have been filed in the Massachusetts state court to uphold their agreement. Patriots lawyers have stated that they do not have knowledge of an official complaint being filed. The current deal expires in February of 2012. [BusinessWeek]
