Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Craft Lager Celebrates Indiana University Athletics

— April 13, 2023 — Lifestyle
Indiana-based Upland Brewing Company is launching a delicious new craft lager that features the branding of Indiana University Athletics, making it no surprise that this particular beer is designed to celebrate the university's sports teams.

The 'Hoosier Gameday Lager' is unique in that it was created taking into account feedback from fans of Indiana University Athletics, who were able to take part in surveys to give their thoughts on flavor profiles, beer name and label art. The end result is a refreshing craft lager that features the iconic cream and crimson stripes associated with Indiana University Athletics.

What's more, the advent of Hoosier Gameday Lager aims to go beyond giving students a delicious brew to enjoy while watching the big game, as it also aims to direct a portion of proceeds towards student scholarships at Indiana University.
