Upland's new release: complimentary tasting at the Goose

For the first time, Upland Brewing in Bloomington is bottling their Imperial stout "Teddy Bear Kisses." And they're bringing a fresh batch to the Goose's Enoteca from 5-7pm on Tuesday, Oct 19--the very same day that the beer is released--just to pour a free sample for you.

A dark and robust beer brewed in the traditional stout method. Teddy Bear Kisses features an abundance of dark malts and high alpha hops for a powerful impact of roast, chocolate, and sweet bitterness. The lucky few who cuddle up to a warming session with Teddy Bear Kisses sense the velvety malt character, balanced bitter intensity, and soothing chocolate notes created by long aging on fair trade cocoa nibs. Teddy Bear Kisses will make you feel warm and happy inside, but it’s definitely not your childhood cuddle toy. Teddy Bear Kisses won a Gold Medal in the 2010 World Beer Championships.

From 5-7pm this Tuesday, we'll also be handing out complimentary samples of Upland's latest seasonal release, Komodo Dragonfly Black IPA, plus three more Upland brews. See you there!
